Mr. William P. Lecky

CUH2A, L.L.P. fMa Cooper-Lecky
Architects, P.C.
1000 Potomac Street, NW
Washington, DC 20007-3528
Dear Mr. Lecky:
This Contracting Officer's Decision is a determination relating to assertions of

copyright in elements of the Korean War Veterans' Memorial (KWVM or Memorial)
by Cooper-Lecky Architects (hereinafter "Cooper-Lecky," "contractor," or "you"), its
successors and assigns, and subcontractors performing work on the KWVM. By
letter dated December 7, 1999, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps)
outlined its position on the issue and offered a resolution (Tab 3).' That letter was
received in the offices of CUH2A, L.L.P./Cooper Lecky Architects, P.C., on
December 8, 1999 (Tab 4). Although the letter requested action within fifteen (15)
days, as of this date, Cooper-Lecky has not responded.
It appears that a dispute has arisen regarding the copyright issues relating to
the KWVM. The cumulative and potential impacts upon the Government and the
public resulting from the contractor's position on these issues make it necessary to
issue findings of fact and a determination on these copyright issues pursuant to the
terms of your contract and the applicable law.
By contract DACA3 1-90-C-0057 (the contract) dated April 11, 1990, Cooper-
Lecky was awarded the architect-engineer (ME) contract for design and construction
of the KWVM. One of the principals of that firm waslis Mr. William Lecky. The

KMVM, located on the Mall in Washington, DC, was authorized by Congress in 1986
to honor members of the U.S. armed forces who served in the Korean War, and to
educate the public about their sacrifice.
1. The contractor has not certified a contract claim in this matter. However, the
contractor has taken (and permitted others to take) actions inconsistent with the
provisions of the contract, giving rise to what can be described as an affirmative
claim of the Government to address issues of copyright in the KWVM.
2. Several letters from Cooper-Lecky (and its successors) assert intellectual property
interests in the KWVM. The first of this correspondence is a letter to the National
Park Service, National Capital Parks-Central Division (NPS) from Korean War
Veterans Memorial Productions, Inc., dated December 2 1, 1 9 9 5 . ~This letter, signed
by Mr. Lecky, purports to give NPS authorization to use images of the KWVM in
NPS publications, but requests the opportunity to review any future written
information relating to the KWVM prior to publication (Tab 5).
3. A letter from Cooper-Lecky, dated July 25, 1997, signed by Mr. Lecky as
President of KWVM Productions, Inc., again complains to NPS regarding the
brochure distributed at the ~ ~ ~ ~ . k o o ~ e rmaintains
- L e c that
k ~"KWVM
Productions, Inc. holds the copyright on all aspects of the Memorial and must grant
a approval for any use of images of the Memorial" (Tab 6).
4. A third letter from CUH2A, L.L.P., dated May 26, 1999, again signed by Mr.
Lecky, claims that, "[Cooper-Lecky Architects] ha[s] a copyright on all images
related to the Korean War Veterans Memorial" (Tab 7).4
a 1. This is a Department of the Army contract and thus is subject to the Federal
Acquisition Regulations (FAR), the Department of Defense FAR Supplement
(DFARS), the Army FAR Supplement (AFARS), and the Engineer FAR Supplement
(EFARS) in effect at the time the contract was drafted. The solicitation for this
contract occurred in 1989.
Korean War Veteran's Memorial Productions, Inc., is, of course, not the prime contractor under
contract number DACA31-90-C-0057. Nevertheless, this entity appears to be operating under the
direction of Mr. William Lecky, one of the principals of the contractor.

KWVM Productions, Inc., appears to be the same entity as Korean War Veteran's Memorial
Productions, Inc.

It is believed that CUH2A, L.L.P., is a successor firm to Cooper-Lecky Architects, P.C., in the sense
that the firm now does business as CUH2A, L.L.P. However, it does not appear that Cooper-Lecky
a
Architects, P.C., was ever formally dissolved, and there was never a novatiin of the contract to
substitute CUH2A, L.L.P.. as the replacement contractor on this project.
G195
2. Clause 1.37 of the contract (DFARS clause 52-233-0001) expressly states that this
contract is subject to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978. This dispute involving
copyrights is a "claim" as defined by subsection (c) of the clause (Tab 8).
3. The contract contains two clauses that expressly discuss the issue of copyright in
the KWVM. Clause 1-29 is entitled "Drawings and Other Data to Become Property
of Government" and states:
"All designs, drawings, specifications, notes and other works

developed in the performance of this contract shall become the sole
property of the Government and may be used on any other design
or construction without additional compensation to the Contractor.
The Government shall be considered the "person for whom the
work was prepared" for the purpose of authorship in any
copyrightable work under 17 U.S.C. 201(b). With respect thereto,
the Contractor agrees not to assert or authorize others to assert any
rights nor establish any claim under the design patent or copyright
laws. The Contractor for a period of three (3) years after
completion of the project agrees to furnish all retained works on
the request of the Contracting Officer. Unless otherwise provided
in this contract, the Contractor shall have the right to retain copies
of all works beyond such period."5
a 4. The other copyright clause is found in Clause 1-28 of the contract. This clause,
entitled "Government Rights, Unlimited," states:
"The Government shall have unlimited rights, in all drawings,

designs, specifications, notes and other works developed in the
performance of this contract, including the right to use same on
any other Government design or construction without additional
compensation to the Contractor. The Contractor hereby grants to
the Government a paid-up license throughout the world to all such
works to which he may assert or establish any claim under design
patent or copyright laws. The Contractor for a period of three (3)
years after completion of the project agrees to furnish the original
or copies of all such works on the request of the Contracting
~fficer."~
5. The term "works" is not specifically defined in any clause that was included in this
solicitation. However, the term "works" is clearly defined by related DFARS clauses
as including "literary, musical, and dramatic works; pantomimes and choreographic
works; pictorial, graphic and sculptural works; motion pictures and other audiovisual
works; sound recordings; and works of similar nature. The term does not include

G196
financial reports, cost analyses, and other information incidental to contract

admini~tration."~
6. The DFARS instruct the Contracting Officer which clauses to use in a particular
contract, including guidance on policy and procedures pertaining to data, copyrights,
and restricted designs unique to the acquisition of construction and architect-engineer
services. In fact, DFARS 227.478-2 specifically addresses AIE services for a
monument or memorial, stating: "When the purpose of a contract for architect-
engineer services is to obtain a unique architectural design of a building, a monument
or construction of similar nature, which for artistic, aesthetic, or other special reasons
the Government does not want duplicated, the Government may acquire exclusive
control of the data pertaining to design by including the clause at 252.227-7023,
Drawings and Other Data to Become Property of Government, in solicitations and
contracts."'
7. Generally, copyright protection is not available for any work authored by the
United States Government. However, the United States Government is not precluded
from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or
other~ise.~
8. On April 11, 1990, Cooper-Lecky was awarded contract number DACA3 1-90-C-
0057 for the design and construction of the KWVM. With 19 subsequent
modifications, the total value of the contract is $5,432,098.00.
a 9. Notice to Proceed was also issued to Cooper-Lecky on April 11, 1990 (Tab 9).
10. The preliminary KWVM design provided to Cooper-Lecky pursuant to the

contract was a concept initially devised as an entry in a nationwide contest sponsored
by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC). However, for several
reasons, the preliminary concept was not practicable and required revision.
11. Pursuant to the AIE contract, Cooper-Lecky refined the preliminary design
concept of the KWVM. Changes to the preliminary conceptual design were reviewed
and approved by ABMC, the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), National Capital
Planning Commission (NCPC), National Capital Memorial Commission (NCMC),
and various other groups before the final design was approved and construction could
be initiated.
12. During the design processes, Cooper-Lecky retained subcontractors to assist with
certain components of the KWVM. Although the Corps was not a party to those
contracts, it is known that Cooper-Lecky hired Mr. Frank Gaylord to design the
sculptures, and Mr. Louis Nelson to design the mural wall of the KWVM.
This definition is found in identical clauses in DFARS 252.227-7020(a) and DFARS 252.227-
7021(a), March 1979 version (in effect in 1989).
This is the 1989 version of DFARS 227.478-2(a)(l)(ii).
17 U.S.C. S 105.
G197
13. Construction of the KWVM commenced in 1993.
14. Since 1994, at least five separate copyright registrations (described in the
Summary of Claims) have been filed on behalf of Cooper-Lecky and its
subcontractors with the United States Copyright Office. These registrations relate
directly to work performed under contract DACA3 1-90-C-0057."
15. The first of the registrations, Copyright Office number VAu 326-676, was
docketed December 30, 1994. Apparently, this registration filed by Cooper-Lecky,
purports to copyright the design of the KWVM and the site plan drawing (Tab 10).
16. Registration number VAu 326-679, also filed December 30, 1994, by Cooper-
Lecky, again claims copyright in the design of the KWVM, and also claims copyright
in a scale model of the Memorial (Tab 11).
17. A third Cooper-Lecky, registration is VAu 327-755, dated July 25, 1995. This
registration claims copyright in an adaptation of a short phrase by the Secretary of
Defense that is inscribed part of the KWVM (Tab 12).
18. In VAu 402-655, Mr. Louis Nelson, the Cooper-Lecky subcontractor who
designed the mural wall, asserts a copyright in the mural wall of the KWVM. The
effective date of this registration is March 13, 1995 (Tab 13).
19. The sculptor, Mr. Frank Gaylord, filed a registration that references not only the
stainless steel sculptures he designed, but also might be construed to assert claims for
the mural wall, and the pool of remembrance. This registration is effective July 17,
1998, and is numbered VAu 447-698 (Tab 14).
20. Furthermore, the Corps is aware that there is an organization incorporated in the
District of Columbia called the "General Richard G. Stilwell Korean War Veterans
Memorial Foundation" (RGSKWVNIF) that is apparently asserting copyrights
derived under this contract. Although this is not an entity that has contractual privity
with respect to the KWVM, its board of directors includes William Leckey [sic],
Frank Gaylord, and Louis Nelson.
2 1. RGSKWVMF operates a website that makes broad copyright claims in the

KWVM. One webpage states, "The Foundation has been granted full control of all
copyrights pertaining to any products marketed for profit that depict any part of, or
the entirety of, the Memorial. In exercising copyright, the Foundation may authorize
third party marketing or restrict marketing to itself."
22. Another webpage on the RGSKWVMF site states, "The RGSKWVMF holds
copyright control over any and all depictions of all or any part of the KWVM. Any
'O Library of Congress Copyright Office registration numbers: VAu 326-676, VAu 326-679, VAU
327-755, VAu 402-655, and VAu 447-698.
G198
such use of copyright for profit by any individual, business, or corporate entity that
has not been licensed to so do, is a violation of copyright laws and they will be
prosecuted for such. Help us prevent abuse of your rights and notify the Foundation if
anyone tries to use our Memorial to benefit themselves!" (Tab 15).
23. At this time, neither the contractor nor the subcontractors have filed a claim for
copyright infringement with the Corps, ABMC, or NPS, and it is not known whether
infringement actions have been brought against any other persons or organizations.
24. The KWVM was dedicated and opened to the public on July 27, 1995, the 42nd
anniversary of the armistice that ended the Korean War.
25. The NPS is responsible for the operation and management of the KWVM.
26. With the exception of $447.16 that is still held by the Government, Cooper-
a Lecky has been paid for its work performed under this contract. Despite request,
Cooper-Lecky has refused to execute the release needed to effectuate the final
payment (Tab 16, Tab 17, Tab 18).
27. In an effort to resolve this dispute, the Contracting Officer wrote to the contractor
in a letter dated December 7, 1999 (Tab 3). At that time, the contractor was
instructed to cease its assertions of copyright and was directed to execute assignments
of the copyright registrations in favor of the Government." The contractor elected
not to respond to that letter at all.
ANALYsrs
1. The assertions of copyright by Cooper-Lecky, and those who would presume to

derive copyright from work performed under this contract, clearly violate the express
terms of the contract.
a 2. The contractor's (and subcontractors') copyright claims have the potential to
adversely affect the Corps, its customer (ABMC), and the agency that maintains and
operates the KWVM (NPS).
3. As demonstrated in the letters written by the contractor, the copyright claims may
present obstacles to the effective administration of the KWVM, and impede the
mission and operation of the KWVM. The suggestion that someone other than the
Government can determine the nature and extent of dissemination of images of the
KWVM has no basis in the language of the contract.
II
As noted herein, several of the registrations are in the names of subcontractors and not the
contractor, Cooper-Lecky. However, it is apparent that all these registrations were undertaken with the
approval of Cooper-Lecky and in fact may have been assigned to a successor to Cooper-Lecky or the
RGSKWVMF. Therefore, it seems clear that the contractor or the principals of that firm are i n a
position to procure the execution of all the copyright registration assignments.
G199
4. Furthermore, the KWVM was constructed for the use of the public, using both
appropriated and non-appropriated funds. The copyright claims asserted by Cooper-
Lecky and its subcontractors unreasonably and unfairly impact the end users of the
Memorial, inhibit NPS's ability to interpret the Memorial, and produce a chilling
effect on the public's ability to use the KWVM as intended.
5. Clause 1-29 (Drawings and Other Data to Become Property of Government)

expressly states that the contractor shall neither assert nor authorize others to assert
any rights nor establish any claim under the design patent or copyright laws.
Nevertheless, that is exactly what Cooper-Lecky has done.
6. In accordance with the contract terms, Cooper-Lecky was paid for its services and
work on the KWVM, and the Government was given exclusive control over the data,
design, and the completed work of the KWVM. The contract clauses ensure the
Government's unlimited rights to the KWVM and prevent the contractor or
subcontractors from restricting the Government or the public's use of the KWVM.
7. The contractor having taken an action that is proscribed by the contract, an

appropriate remedy is to execute assignments of the improperly registered copyrights
to the Government, so that they may remain in the public domain as intended.
Cooper-Lecky (or its successor) shall assign its copyrights in the KWVM to the
Government, and enlist its subcontractors to do the same.
8. The enclosed forms should be executed by each of the entities purporting to hold
copyrights for each of the above referenced registrations. If there are additional
copyright registrations on the KWVM, or if any of these registrations have been
assigned to another entity, that information shall be conveyed to the Contracting
Officer.
9. I further find that, to the extent the copyrights have not already been assigned to
the Government, Clause 1-28 of the contract, "Government Rights, Unlimited," grants
the Government an unlimited license with respect to any copyrights derived of the
K W V M . ' ~Therefore, neither the contractor nor the subcontractors have ever had a
basis to attempt to restrict the Government's use of the KWVM.
10. In the event these copyrights are not assigned in accordance with this Contracting
Officer's Decision, the Government may initiate proceedings in Federal Court for
appropriate judicial relief, and make the appropriate recommendations on the ACASS
evaluation(s) for Cooper-Lecky and the firm's principals.
11. The contractor, and all others who might purport to derive copyrights with
respect to work performed under contract number DACA3 1-90-C-0057, shall
immediately cease and desist any communication or suggestion to the public or to any
l 2 The Government challenges the validity of these copyright registrations. As directed by the disputes
clause of the contract, this issue is addressed at this time in this Contracting Officer's Decision rather
than suits in Federal Court.

Mr. William P. Lecky

CWH2A, L.L.P. flkla Cooper-Lecky
Architects, P.C.
Washington, DC 20007-3 528
Dear Mr. Lecky:
It has recently come to my attention that you have registered copyright interests in
the Korean War Veterans Memorial (hereinafter referred to as "KWVM). In letters to
the National Park Service (NPS) from Cooper-Lecky Architects, P.C. (Cooper-Lecky),
dated December 21, 1995, Korean War Veterans Memorial Productions, Inc., dated July
27, 1997, and CHU2A, L.L.P., dated May 26, 1999, you claim that these various entities
hold copyright on "all images related to the Korean War Veterans Memorial." The
aforementioned correspondence asserts that NPS "rangers at the site alert people to the
fact that there is a copyright on the design and approval must be granted to anyone
wishing to use film, photographs or drawings of the Memorial" and maintains that
Korean War Veterans Memorial Productions, Inc., must grant approval for any use of
images of the KWVM. Your correspondence has also requested that literature distributed
by NPS be pre-approved by your firm. Correspondence of this nature from your ofice
must cease.
Your copyright assertions are inconsistent with the terms and provisions of the
Architect-Engineer contract between Cooper-Lecky and the U.S. Army Engineer District,
Baltimore (hereinafter referred to as the "Contract"). In fact, NPS officials at the KWVM
may not have been apprised of the Contract's copyright provisions until quite recently
when the Baltimore District was asked to respond to your letters. The Contract,
numbered DACA3 1-90-C-0057 and dated April 11, 1990, clearly and firmly addresses
the issue of copyright in the KWVM. The copyright assertions you have made, and the
restrictions you would purport to place upon the Government and third parties, are
inaccurate and collide squarely with the express terms of the Contract. To aid in your
understanding of the Government's rights in the KWVM, I direct your attention to two
relevant clauses on page 1-41 of the Contract. Clause 1-29 is entitled "Drawings and
Other Date to Become Property of Government" and states:
G203
"All designs, drawings, specifications, notes and other works

h e l o p e d in the performance of this contract shall become the
sole property of the Government and may be used on any other
design or construction without additional compensation to the
Contractor. The Govemment shall be considered the 'personfor
whom the work was preparedJJfor the purpose of authorship in any
copyrightable work under 17 US.C. 201(b). With respect thereto,
the Contractor agrees not to assert or authorize others to assert
any rights nor establish any claim under the design patent or
copyright laws. The Contractorfor a period of three (3) years after
completion of the project agrees tohmish all retained works on the
request of the Contracting OfJicer. Unless otherwise provided in
this contract, the Contractor shall have the right to retain copies of
all works beyond such period. [Emphasis added.]
"
Under this provision, it is clear that Cooper-Lecky (or its subcontractors) can not
assert valid copyright interests in the KWVM even if those interests might otherwise be
copyrightable in the absence of the Contract. Nevertheless, at this time, we are now
aware of several copyrights registered by Cooper-Lecky and its subcontractors. Please be
advised that these and any other KWVM copyrights are registered in violation of the
express terms of the Contract.
Furthermore, the Contract contains an additional provision relating to copyright in

Clause 1-28 (Government Rights, Unlimited), that states:
The Government shall have unlimited rights, in all

drawings, designs, specifications, notes and other works developed
in the performance of this contract, including the right to use
same on any other Government design or construction without
additional compensation to the Contractor. The Contractor hereby
grants to the Govemment a paid-up license throughout the world to
all such works to which he may assert or establish any claim under
design patent or copyright laws. The Contractorfor aperiod of
three (3) years after completion of the project agrees tofurnish the
original or copies of all such works on the request of the
Contracting OfJicer. Emphasis added.]
"
In accordance with the Contract terms, Cooper-Lecky was paid for its services
and work on the KWVM, and the Government was given exclusive control over the data,
design, and the completed work of the KWVM. The contract clauses are intended to
ensure the Government's unlimited rights to the KWVM and to prevent the contractor (or
subcontractors from restricting the public's access to or use of the KWVM.
G204
Having now received information that Cooper-Lecky and its subcontractors have
inappropriately registered certain copyrights, we must take action to ensure that all
elements of the KWVM remain in the public domain. We can resolve this issue through
assignments of the copyright registrations to the Government. At this time, we are aware
of five separate registrations filed on behalf of Cooper-Lecky, Mr. Frank Gaylord, and
Mr. Louis Nelson (Library of Congress Copyright Ofice registration numbers: VAu
326-676, VAu 326-679, VAu 327-755, VAu 402-655, and VAu 447-698). These
copyright registrations need to be assigned to the United States.
The enclosed forms should be executed by each of the entities purporting to hold
copyrights for each of the above referenced registrations. If there are additional
copyright registrations on the KWVM, or if any of these registrations have been assigned
to another entity, that information shall be conveyed to the Contracting Officer.
Your immediate attention and anticipated assistance in this matter is appreciated.

Enclosed you will find the assignment forms to be executed and returned to the Baltimore
District. It is my sincere hope that this issue can be resolved amicably and quickly, and
your reply is requested within 15 days fiom the date of this letter. In the event that this
matter is not resolved quickly, I am prepared to issue a Contracting Officer's decision.
Questions or concerns relating to this issue may be directed to the undersigned.

Dear m e ,
This is in response to your letter on the Korean
Memorial. You may consider this
however, like to ask two things in retum-
i
1. W e would appreciate having the opporlunity to any written information prior to
publication - just to en.wre the accuracy of events, histo
I
2. We are trying to develop photo records, seasonal images, etc. of the Memorial. G n we secure a pass
or permit slip to allow our photographer a c c e s to the site? This would ideally be opn-cnded so w e
muld shmt on short notice to catch a slnrise, or snow slorn'l, fog, etc.
Pleasegive me a call when it's c o n v d e n t . Have a great holiday, and good luck with your publication.
As an inside, we have a good many photos that you are welcome to use if YOU need them. See you soon.

After working hard for iive long years to bring this memorial to budtion and after
struggling with our duechon d L * L the~ sculptor and the mumlist, ignore crcdrtlng

Up to this point, we had been working closely tsfith your public relations st&. I can't

WELCOME TO THE GENERAL RICHARD G. STILWELL

KOREAN WAR VETERANS MEMORIAL FOUNDATION, INC.
The Foundation (RGSKWVMF) is dedicated to the raising of funds to recreate an endowment that
will ensure the proper maintenance of the Korean War Veterans Memorial (KWVM) in the
nation's capital. Due to budgetary limitations and the need to prioritize the maintenance of national
monuments, the National Park Service (NPS) is in need of supplementary funding to meet
obligations.
The Foundation will, upon request of

the NPS and as necessary and when
funds are available, grant to the NPS
funds specifically designated to meet
maintenance andlor modifications to
the KWVM. Funds will be raised by
the RGSKWVMF through donations,
grants and the sale of products
depicting all or parts of the KWVM.
The RGSKWVMF holds copyright

control over any and all depictions of
all or any part of the KWVM. Any
such use of copyright for profit by
any individual, business, or corporate
entity that has not been licensed to so
do. is a violation of cowright laws
and they will be prosec<tedY for such. Help us prevent abuse of your rights and notify the Foundation
if anyone tries to use our Memorial to benefit themselves! RGSKWVMF is non-profit, tax exempt!

Korean War Veterans Memorial - About the Foundation Page 1 of 1
WELCOME TO THE GENERAL RICHARD G. STILWELL KOREAN

WAR VETERANS MEMORIAL FOUNDATION, INC.
The Foundation (RGSKWVMF), was chartered in 1996 in the District of Columbia. I t is a
registered tax-exempt and non-profit organization dedicated to creating an endowment fund
to ensure adequate maintenance of the Memorial.
The Members of the Board of Directors are as follows:

--
A. Former members of the Korean W a r Veterans Memorial Advisory Board

(KWVMAB); (Appointed by the President to select design and raise funds to erect the
Memorial)
B. The Memorial's Sculptor, Frank Gaylord and Muralist, Louis Nelson;
C. Mr. William Leckey, one of the design architects of the Memorial; and,
D. LTC (Ret) Richard G. Stilwell, son of General Stilwell, the original Chairman
of the KWVMAB who, prior to his death, was instrumental in gaining approval
for the design.
Following dedication of the Memorial on 27 Jul 95 it soon became apparent that, as with the
Vietnam Memorial, an endowment fund for maintenance and modification was needed to
supplement the limited funds available to the National Park Sewice (NPS). In the face of
declining budgets and the need for the NPS to prioritize maintenance of all the Nation's
Memorials, the NPS cannot guarantee adequate maintenance.
This need was dramatically pointed out by the almost immediate need, following dedication, to
make major repairs to the Memorial. These involved replacing the water circulation system to
the memorial pool, revising the lighting system to improve ambient visibility a t night and
placement of additional benches and barriers to prevent visitors from infringing on the line of
sculptures. As late as the end of 1998, these modifications were not completed and the
Memorial will not be returned to the status it desewes until mid to late 1999.
Accordingly, the RGSKWVMF was established to raise money for an endowment fund
dedicated exclusively to the maintenance of the Korean War Veterans Memorial. The
Foundation has been granted full control of all copyrights pertaining to any products
marketed for profit that depict any part of, or the entirety of, the Memorial. I n exercising
copyright, the Foundation may authorize third party marketing or restrict marketing to itself.
To date, only the RGSKWVMF is marketing products. These are being sold a t cost plus a
15% markup to raise endowment funds, as well as S&H costs to cover overhead. There are no
paid employees of the Foundation and, except for advertising and development of products, all
funds are deposited in the endowment fund. As needed, the Foundation will provide grants to
the NPS when NPS funds are inadequate to properly maintain the Memorial. Your support of
this endeavor will ensure that the Korean War Veterans Memorial remains as it was designed
to be!
Help us to achieve our goal! Support the Memorial!

The Korean War Veterans Memorial

The Korean War Veterans Memorial is one of the most inspiring War Memorials in our Nation's Capital. Nine
years in the building it cost in excess of 18 million dollars, all of which was raised through private
contributions. Located on the Grand Mall in Washington. DC, the Korean War Veterans Memorial and
Vietnam Memorial are at the ends of the horizontal arm of a cruciform composed of the Washington
Monument at the base of the vertical arm, the soon to be WWll Memorial along the vertical axis and the
Lincoln Memorial at the head of the vertical arm.
The Memorial is unique in that it presents an aura of commitment both by a generation of young American
soldiery as well as their comrades from 20 other nations of the United Nations and the Republic of South
Korea. Dedicated to the concept that "Freedom Is Not Free", the Memorial does not glorify war but rather the
determination of our peoples to assist other people in preserving their freedom!
Unique among war memorials, and one of the most visited, the Korean War Veterans lblemorial features a
column of 19 sculptures representing those members of the Armed Forces of the United States that directly
engaged the enemy in ground and air combat and depicts the ethnic and racial makeup of those forces. The
sculptures are flanked by a Wall filled with scenes of the war. The Memorial Pool at the head of the Memorial
Is dedicated to the remembrance of those killed in action, wounded in action, missing in action or held as
POWs by the enemy. Look closely at the numbers and you will understand why the "Police Action" now must
be called a "War"!
As surely as World War II was fought to save the world for democracy it can be said that the Korean War was
fought to save the world from communism! The stand taken in Korea, and the "line in the sand" drawn there
against armed aggression, became the catalyst for the eventual downfall of the goal of communism - to
enslave the world!
Visit this Memorial! See for yourself why it is imperative to ensure that it is maintained properly!
FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!
