The Memorial Statuary are composed of five larger then
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 the battle. Then comes the 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 brotherhood
that comes from battle. There are no weapons on the Memorial - this is
to confirm the veteran's wish for peace. The five figures will
stand in memory of all veterans who serve our state.
