For my birthday I took a trip to Providence, Rhode Island, to visit Brown University and tour the city. While I was touring the city this Statue captured my attention because it seem like a patriotic symbol. After taking this photo and doing some research, I found out this monument was built to commemorate 39,000 Rhode Island citizens for taking part in the Korean War. I’ve provided a link for the website that has more information about this Statue and some interesting facts about the Korean War(http://rikoreanwarmemorial.com/about.php). According to the website “The Korean war is known as the Forgotten War” and “PFC. John B Colman Jr. – US Marine Corps was the last Rhode Islander who died in action.” Feel free to click on the link above and checkout more information about this statue and the Korean War.
