The Memorial Statuary is composed of five larger than 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 battle. Then
comes an 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 a brotherhood that comes
of battle. There are no weapons on the Memorial - this is to confirm the
veterans' wish for peace. The five figures stand in memory of all veterans
who serve our State.
