The Statue of Brothers, The War Memorial of Korea
May 27, 2007

"The Statue of Brothers is a symbol of the Korean War. The upper part of the statue depicts a scene where a family's older brother, a ROK officer, and his younger brother, a North Korean solider, meet in a battlefield and express reconciliation, love, and forgiveness. The lower tomb-shaped dome was built with pieces of granite collected from nationwide locations symbolizing the sacrifices made by [Korean] patriots. The crack in the dome stands for the division of Korea and the hope for unification. The links of iron chain on the ceiling signify the unbreakable bonds of a unified Korea."
