   • Pool of Remembrance. At the apex of the triangle-shaped memorial is the Pool of Remembrance. One end of the mural wall extends into the pool area with an impactful reminder written in 10-inch silver letters: FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.

   • United Nations Curb. Along the northern side of the field of statues is a curb that features an alphabetical listing of the countries that contributed troops to the United Nations’ efforts during the Korean War.

   • Statues: The 19 stainless steel statues were sculpted by Frank Gaylord of Barre, Vt. and cast by Tallix Foundries of Beacon, N.Y. They are approximately 7-feet tall and represent an ethnic cross section of America.
   • Mural Wall: The mural wall was designed by Louis Nelson of New York, N.Y. and fabricated by Cold Spring Granite Company, Cold Spring, Minn. The muralist, sculptor and architect worked closely to create a two-dimensional work of art adjacent to the three-dimensional statues.
   • Pool of Remembrance: The point of the triangle enclosing the statues reaches into a circular pool approximately 128 feet in diameter. Water is fed into the pool from its bottom and it flows over a stepped weir to give a pleasant rippling sound.
   • Honor Roll: A kiosk containing the Korean War Honor Roll stands at the west entrance of the memorial. It is serviced by a park ranger, who provides assistance to visitors.
