 LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Veterans and Korean dignitaries broke ground for a Korean War memorial Saturday next to the birthplace of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who led United Nations forces during the conflict.
The monument will list the 463 Arkansas residents who died in the war and feature two bronze statues of soldiers standing atop a bridge.
"These veterans did not fight and die in vain," said Doyle Herndon, president of the foundation in charge of the 6,400-square-foot memorial. "They preserved freedom for the Korean people."
