The Arkansas Korean War Veterans Memorial is located in MacArthur Park in Little Rock. The memorial was dedicated on June 25, 2007.
The nonprofit Arkansas Korean War Veterans Memorial Foundation was established in the Fall of 2003 with the express goal of creating the Korean War Veterans Memorial. It began fundraising and selected an architect in 2004. Groundbreaking at the site was initiated in November 2005 with a budget estimate of $575,000. The statues were cast by Light and Time Design Studio and Art Foundry in Royal, Arkansas. The foundation selected Suhor Industries of Overland Park, Kansas, to create a memorial plaza surrounding the statues in 2006.
