Monument to the US 2nd Infantry Division in the Korean War

The US association of the 2nd Infantry Division built this structure to commemorate the valor and contributions of those in the 2nd Infantry Division who died while fighting for freedom during the Korean War. The 2nd Infantry Division was part of the US Army, and its key mission was to buy time early in the war until other US units arrived in South Korea. It uniquely included ROK troops known as the Korean Augmentation to the United States Army (KATUSA). The KATUSA was established by Former President Seungman Lee in 1950, and 27,000 KATUSA members
fought in the Korean War alongside the US Army. The 2nd ID suffered a total of 7,094 dead and 16,575 wounded during the war. Its unofficial name is the Indianhead, while its official name is “Warrior Division,” and its motto is “Second to None.”

Epitaph: For those who fought and died for freedom.
