“The National Park Service and the memorial’s foundation announced Monday that the wall will include the names of 36,574 Americans and more than 7,200 Koreans, who served as advisers and interpreters in what was called the Korean Augmentation to the U.S. Army (KATUSA).
Funding for the $22 million project comes entirely from donations from the people of the United States and South Korea, the Park Service and the foundation said.
The 25-year-old memorial, just southeast of the Lincoln Memorial, will also undergo a thorough facelift, officials said. The project is expected to take 18 months. The work is to begin this week.”
