The Korean and Vietnam Wars Memorial is located on the southern end of the mall. The two appear to be separate entities, but in actuality, they combine to become one memorial. They are two pieces of a whole cylinder, not equally split, however, because more soldiers were killed or MIA in the Vietnam War. Thus, that section is slightly larger. One side of the memorial features a map and letters sent home from soldiers. On the other side, visitors can find the names of Indiana veterans killed or MIA in both wars.
