Korean War Veterans Memorial
This monumental obelisk was built to honor george
Washington, america’s first president, and stands today as
the world’s tallest freestanding stone structure.
Construction began in 1848, but a lack of funds,
political squabbling and the Civil War interrupted the
work from 1854 to 1877. a clear change in the color of
the stones can be seen about one-third of the way up
the monument; the slightly darker stones at the bottom
were placed before construction paused, while the lighter
stones above it were brought in from a different quarry
following the Civil War.

THE PREsTIGE | THE WaTErgaTE HoTEL
The Korean War Veterans Memorial was dedicated in
1995, on the 42nd anniversary of the armistice that
ended the conflict. The memorial consists of 19 statues
of soldiers representing a squad on patrol, drawn from
each branch of the armed Forces. The 19 figures create
a reflection on the wall, symbolizing the border between
north and South Korea: the 38th parallel.
alongside the soldiers stands the Mural Wall with more
than 2,400 photographs of men, women, and dogs who
served in Korea.
