Korea War Memorial

The Korean War Memorial is made up of five pillars that have triangular tops. Etched Korean War photos adorn plaques on each of the pillars. See some close up photos below.

Approaching the Flags

Walking around some more, I viewed more memorial plauques. Before long I was at the opposite end of the plaza. There were flags and benches across from a five pillared memorial.

Memorial Plaques

I took photos of each section as I circled the plaza. There were various plaques placed around the space. Soon I focused on a statue of a soldier.

Veterans Plaza

Then I proceeded to the plaza itself. As I walked, I shot photos glancing backwards and forwards. Finally at the plaza, I took some overall shots.

Gardens Along the Way

Along the way I explored the gardens. There were begonias in bloom. Soon enough I caught a glimpse of the plaza ahead.

Memphis Zoo Entrance

It was a couple of days before Hurricane Ike was expected to make landfall on the Texas coast. I decided to return to Overton Park to visit the Veterans Plaza. I started at the entrance of to the Memphis Zoo and walked the sidewalk leading to the plaza.
