The Korean War Memorial Foundation (KWMF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the sacrifices made by those who fought in the Korean War and educating future generations about the true cost of war and the price of freedom. Located in San Francisco, the Memorial stands in a prominent place in the Presidio, offering a breathtaking view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific. The Memorial features a main wall with laser-etched panels depicting iconic images from the war, a circular bench enclosing a planter with Korean pine trees and battle stones, and commemorative panels recognizing individual donors and Korean War veterans.

Since its opening in 2016, the KWMF has focused on a continuing education program in collaboration with the San Francisco Unified School District and other agencies to ensure that the Korean War and the sacrifices made to defend democracy and protect South Korea's freedom are never forgotten by future generations.

Battery Boutelle

Battery Boutelle, located in San Francisco, CA, is an Endicott-era battery that was completed in 1900. It was armed with three 5-inch rapid fire guns mounted on balanced pillar mounts, designed to defend against mine sweepers and fast torpedo boats. The battery, named in honor of Lieutenant Henry M. Boutelle, was dismounted in 1917 for service during World War I. Situated on the coastal bluffs near the Golden Gate toll plaza, Battery Boutelle offers a modern-day view of the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands. Accessible via Lincoln Boulevard, the battery features parking along Merchant Road and is adjacent to the Coastal Trail. Recent preservation work has stabilized the battery's condition, with safety railings installed for visitor safety.Generated from the website
