Commission on the Korean War Veterans Memorial

The Commission on the Korean War Veterans Memorial was established by Congress in 1992 to oversee the design, funding, and construction of the memorial honoring those who served and sacrificed during the Korean War (1950-1953). It was responsible for guiding the project to ensure it accurately reflects the history and honors the veterans. The commission facilitated collaboration among government agencies, veterans groups, and the public, ultimately helping to create the memorial in Washington, D.C., which stands as a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of Korean War veterans.
