Korean War Veterans Memorial

Congress never declared the Korean War. Officially it was a 'police action,' fought under a United Nations flag on a peninsula most Americans couldn't have found on a map — and yet more than 36,000 Americans died in three years of it, and Morgan County sent its share of the men who went. This memorial, standing with the county's other war monuments in Morgan, does the plain thing the government hedged on: it calls the thing a war, and it keeps the names of the local men who went when they were asked.
