Explain what is koren war veterans memorial?

Answer 1

When the Vietnam Veterans War Memorial Wall went up in '82, the Women Viet Vets wanted one too, so they built the Women Vietnam Memorial next to it, "the Nurses". Then someone added the three "infantrymen" statue (Note: this is not in chronological order). Then someone didn't like the name "war" and the name Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall was accepted; Then the Korean War veterans wanted a memorial, so an artist was commissioned to make one; a squad or platoon of infantrymen (all standing) and walking on patrol; all constructed of bronze (?)...it's very different from many other memorials; appears to be of an original or at least a unique in concept design. Shortly thereafter, or around the same time frame, someone wanted a WWII memorial built...which was surprising; because most United States citizens always believed we already had one! The United States Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima! Turns out that was a monument to the Marine Corps; many people didn't know that (many probably still don't). So we built a WWII memorial too. But we shall save the best for last; the Vietnam "War Dog" Memorial (probably called "K9" memorial). There was talk of one some time ago; The US Army didn't keep records until after 1968 in Vietnam, but approximately 5,000 US Military working dogs (war dogs) served in the war; about 10,000 US servicemen worked as "dog-handlers" in Vietnam, and 73 of them, plus 43 war dogs were killed in Vietnam. If "man" has to have memorials dedicated to him, certainly "his best friend" should have one too!
