The Tourist and the Warriors

A view of the Korean War Veterans Memorial, which was dedicated in 1995. The United States led a United Nations coalition in support of South Korea in this war with North Korea in the early 1950s.

When I was teaching I took my 11th graders to D.C. for an overnight trip. We really packed a lot of things into the trip- one thing being a tour of the War Memorials in the early evening. This was extremely haunting to see at that time and very moving. I like the odd juxtaposition of the tourist with the soldiers.

[Stephanie Swift]

An impressive memorial, very well photographed.

[Sandy]

What a wonderful memorial. They look so real, and that lone tourist with her bright blue umbrella adds a moving touch. Well captured.

[Graham Budd]
