The Memorial in Pittsburgh, PA, was dedicated on July 27, 1999 and is located on North Shore
Drive, in the city of Pittsburgh, between Heinz Field and PNC Park. This memorial is positioned and shaped
to capture sunlight. As the sun travels the horizon, columns of light articulate, sequentially, aspects of
the human spirit, experience and feeling. Through solid and void, light and shadow, the sun traces a
spectrum of individual and shared experience. |

York PA Chapter 178 constructed the memorial, with a casting in life-size bronze. The lower portion of the
Memorial is polished black granite, 6 feet long by 4 feet in depth and 3.5 feet in height. All four sides
have frosted etched scenes. Approximately 700 known Korean War Veterans in the area were contacted and asked
to be part of the Memorial by contributing at least $100.00 for a memorial brick. The brick is part of the
surrounding walkway, and has the veteran’s name, branch of service, and rank at time of service engraved on
it. Many families also remembered with their contributions for bricks.
