Very Well Done

Aug 2018 • Couples

Very nice, respectful, and fitting memorial to the Korean War and it's Veterans. Plays patriotic songs at the top of the hour. Certainly stop and see it and pay your respects to our heroes.

War Memorial

Dec 2017 • Friends

Not sure how to rate this - It's one of three war memorials on the Southwest corner of Oak Ridge Cemetery. Lincoln's tomb is the cemetery highlight, but the three war memorials are very well done and worth a few minute stop if you are out that direction.

Built in harmony with the style of the Korean War Memorial in Washington DC, a wonderful tribute to those who served.

Reverent Tribute to Korean War Veterans

Apr 2018 • Family

This memorial honors those Illinois citizens whose lives were lost in the Korean War. The four military branches, Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, are each shown with service members stepping out from a large bronze bell. The bell is a Carillon that plays soft music as you circle the monument examining the bronze sculptures, and look at names memorialized on the large, granite base. It is a fitting tribute and beautiful memorial to visit.

Brief Stop after Linclon's Tomb

Sep 2017 • Couples

Located near the entrance to the cemetery where Lincoln's Tomb is, it is worth a quick stop. As my father in law served in Korea, my wife wanted to visit. It has a nice bell shaped memorial with music, and we're glad we made the stop.

Beautiful rose bushes surround the granite monument. Very nice tribute to the soldiers from Illinois that fought & died in the Korean War. Inside Oak Ridge Cemetery. Well-maintained and clean area. Impressive memorial. Bronze statues of life size soldiers depicted.
