Philadelphia Korean War Memorial, War memorial in Society Hill, Philadelphia, United States
Four black granite columns, each 16 feet tall, display the names of 610 servicemen from five Pennsylvania counties who died in the Korean War.
The memorial was dedicated in 2002 and underwent additional enhancements, including the addition of a bronze statue titled The Final Farewell in 2007.
Annual ceremonies take place at the memorial during Veterans Day and Memorial Day to honor the service members who sacrificed their lives.
The memorial park extends between Spruce Street and Dock Street, with Christopher Columbus Boulevard to the east and 38th Parallel Place to the west.
Six granite monoliths at the site feature sandblasted information about key events, battles, and major military units involved in the Korean War.
