Charlestown in Boston in Suffolk County, Massachusetts — The American Northeast (New England)
Massachusetts Korean War Veterans Memorial
The American soldiers who sacrificed their lives on Korean soil for freedom have laid a foundation stone for the eternal bond between the two nations. This stone from Korea symbolizes the foundation."
Dr. Sang Selk Park, Ambassador, Republic of Korea
Open Thy gate of mercy
gracious God! My soul flies
through these wounds
to seek out thee
His breast with wounds
unnumber'd riven,
his back to Earth,
his face to heaven.
The history of a
soldier's wound
beguiles the
pain of it.
Erected 1993 by The Massachusetts Korean War Veterans Committee.
