Designed by Frank Gaylord and dedicated on July 27, 1995 by American President Bill Clinton and South Korean President Kim Young Sam, this memorial depicts nineteen American soldiers making their way through the rough terrain of Korea.
The memorial is to honor Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. It also is a monument to freedom since Abraham Lincoln was President during the Civil War and slavery was abolished. Henry Bacon designed the memorial which looks like the Parthenon in Greece. Construction began on February 12, 1914. The building is made of Colorado Yule marble and Indiana limestone.
