Wall of Rememberance


The Memorial Wall of the UNMCK is built by the Korean Government in order to dedicate the noble sacrifice made by those who gave their invaluable lives in defense of the Republic of Korea against the Communist aggression.


 The round pond symbolizes the Universe where the sky and the Wall together with spirit of the fallen and the mind of the spectators are present. The helmet in the pond signifies war while the lotus flower on the opposite side of the pond signifies sublimation from war to peace. On the black stones of the Wall all the names of the fallen, 40,896 (including the missing ones) from 17 countries in all, are engraved in alphabetical order by country and individual name. 

UN Forces Monument

In the front of the monument, one can see a dove which represents peace and an engraved writing written by a former President, Chung-hee PARK. 

Symbolic Area in UNMCK


The national flags of twenty-one nations who participated in the war on behalf of UN and Korea fly every day. Here rest 2,300 UN fallen who gave their invaluable lives during the Korean War. We really appreciate their sacrifice for our country.

Together~~^^

I don't like having pictures taken so much, but I couldn't help it. It had been taken before we threw a first-birthday party for my baby.
