Note where it states "Wounded — United States: 103,284, United Nations: 1,0644,453." Is the last line supposed to read 1,064,453? --Thisisbossi 21:19, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Huh, I guess that's been like that for a while, I was about to ask the same thing. Sluggy42 19:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Semi-protect

I've put in request for semi-protection of this page, since the vandalism is continuous and from various IPs. Cross the fingers. :) --Ebyabe 19:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] new photos

i uploaded some photos i took at the memorial this summer. i would like to add them to the gallery and remove some of the photos that just don't convey the feel of the memorial. the ones i took are:

my goal is to get a good close-up of the faces of each of the 19 soldiers. any comments on which ones to add (if any) and remove (if any). --Jeff Kubina 10:34pm 25 Aug 2007 (EST)

I like what you've got, but is there a way to get some shots of the faces in the wall? Those are a bit eerie, to me, and may help convey the feel.Bigrafa (talk) 16:43, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Bigrafa, i agree. i took some photos of the wall but they really did not come out good enough. i plan on visiting the memorial again and will make a point of getting better photos of the wall. i think the article really should have at least one good photo of it. --Kubina (talk) 15:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
