The Korean War Veterans Memorial Wall of Remembrance Act, a bill by U.S. Rep Sam Johnson (District 3), was signed into law last week permitting a Wall of Remembrance to be added to the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The Wall will list the names of all members of the U.S. Armed Forces who gave their lives during the Korean War. It would also list the total number of all American POWs and MIAs from the Korean War.
