The Oregon Korean War Memorial is a tribute to the brave veterans from Oregon who served in the Korean War. Located in Wilsonville, Oregon, the memorial features a 94-foot long Wall of Honor made of Carnelian granite, engraved with the names of 287 Oregon servicemen who lost their lives in the war. The memorial also includes a brick terrace with the names of memorial donors and flags representing the United States, Republic of Korea, United Nations, and the State of Oregon.
Dedicated on September 30, 2000, the Oregon KWVA Memorial in Wilsonville stands as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by Korean War veterans. The dedication ceremony was attended by high-ranking military officers, civilian dignitaries, and members of the local Korean community. The memorial was made possible through the generous support and contributions of individuals and groups, including the Republic of Korea. It is a significant landmark within the 5.5-acre Town Center Park, serving as a place of remembrance and gratitude for the defense of freedom.
