OT Memorial Day

I found the above site both interesting and informative, but I am slightly confused. What exactly is the picture on the front page (of the above link) a picture of?

Um... the BIG letters dont give any details. are they statues, or is it some kind of re creation posed for a publicity shot? the next-to-nearest figure looks t be wearing a ski on his right foot. or is it just a trick of the camera angle. etc. etc

Mike,

That's one of the scenes in the Korean War Memorial on the Mall in Washington, D.C. It's just a few yards from the Vietnam War Memorial and is a series of life-size sculptures, each of which is a "scene" depicting combat during the Korean War. This one is of a squad of infantry deployed on patrol. They're dressed in wet/cold weather gear. Another one I remember is of Army nurses tending to combat wounded. There are other scenes, but I can't remember how many or what specifically they are about. I was there about six years ago, had just placed decorations for some buddies at the Vietnam Memorial, and was still a little choked-up when I went through the one for Korea.
