Korean War
July 27, 1987
Arlington National Cemetery, Section 46
Memorial Bench

Behind the Tomb of the Unknown Solider at Arlington National Cemetery, a Korean White Pine, planted in 1965 by former Korean President Park Chung Hee in honor of the Americans who lost their lives while serving in the Korean War, now marks the site of the first national memorial to those brave Americans.

Beneath the Korean White Pine sits a memorial meditation bench donated and dedicated by No Greater Love, carved out of a granite block.  Together the tree and bench serve as the first nationally recognized symbols and an International Tribute to those who lost their lives while serving in the Korean War.
