Korean War Veterans Memorial

The Korean War Veterans Memorial is located in Washington, D.C.West Potomac Park, southeast of the Lincoln Memorial and just south of the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall.It commemorates those who served in the Korean War.The initial design competition was won in 1986 by a team of four architects from The Pennsylvania State University, but this team withdrew as it became clear that changes would be needed to satisfy the advisory board and reviewing agencies such as the Commission of Fine Arts.A federal court case was filed and lost over the design changes.The eventual design was by Cooper Lecky Architects who oversaw collaboration between several designers.
