Richland County Korean War Memorial

Freedom Is Not Free

The Veterans of

the Korean War

“They went, not for conquest, and not

for gain, but only to protect

the anguished and the innocent.

They suffered greatly and by their

heroism in a thousand battles, they

added a luster to the codes that

we hold most dear;

Duty, Honor, Fidelity,

Bravery, Integrity"
