Massachusetts Korean War Memorial, Memorial at Charlestown Naval Shipyard Park, US.
The Massachusetts Korean War Memorial is a bronze soldier sculpture set on a granite base in Charlestown Naval Shipyard Park near Boston Harbor. The figure stands on raised ground within the naval yard, where visitors can view it from multiple angles.
The memorial was established in 1993 by the Massachusetts Korean War Veterans Committee to honor those who served during the 1950-1953 conflict. It was created through local effort to remember this often-overlooked war.
The memorial carries a soldier's name and reflects how local communities connect with those who served in the war. Visitors can sense the personal side of military service and sacrifice when they stand before it.
The memorial sits in the public Charlestown Naval Shipyard Park and is open to visitors year-round. The location is relatively easy to reach and offers views of both the harbor and the shipyard grounds.
The memorial was included in the Smithsonian Institution's Save Outdoor Sculpture program, receiving official recognition for its artistic merit. This distinction shows that the work gained attention beyond local circles at the national level.
