![]() Korean War Pictures ![]() When the United States entered into the Korean War they had entered into a whole new era of warfare. This war started as an United Nations Peace Keeping Action and soon esculated into a full blown war with no way out. This was the prelude to the Vietnam Conflict and the first of many United Nations Peace Keeping Actions that the United States have been involved in. This page is dedicated to all who did not agree with the stand that the United States took sometimes but still answered the call because it was the right thing to do.
The Memorial Statuary is composed of five larger than life figures. A Nurse leads the group, because without the
dedication, compassion, and bravery of the Medics, many would not have returned. Following the Nurse are Army and
Marine infantrymen, because the Infantry bears the brunt of battle. Then comes an Air Force Pilot and a Sailor, without
whose support the battle would have soon been lost. The statues face east, because Korea is in the Far East, and in
memory of all who lost their lives and are still missing in action. All five figures are touching, touching in a
brotherhood that comes of battle. There are no weapons on the Memorial - this is to confirm the veterans' wish for
peace. The five figures stand in memory of all veterans who serve our State. Memorial located in Plover, Wisconsin ![]() Read More About the Korean War Just click on the title to read more.
