William E. Weber, a decorated Korean War veteran who oversaw the design and construction of the war\u2019s memorial, passed away on Sunday at age 96.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born in November 1925, Weber joined the Army in 1943 and served with the 11th Airborne during World War II. When the Korean War broke out, he deployed with 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team and remained in Korea until February 1951, during the battle for Wonju. Injuries there cost him a leg and part of his arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For his service, Weber received the Distinguished Service Medal, Silver Star, Bronze Star with V, Legion of Merit with Oak Leaf Cluster, Purple Heart with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters, and an Army Commendation Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/koreanwarvetsmemorial.org\/2022\/04\/11\/col-weber\/\" target=\"_blank\">Korean War Veterans Memorial Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1987, Weber was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to an advisory board to shepherd the Korean War Veterans Memorial\u2019s construction on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the memorial was completed and dedicated in July 1996, Weber went on to establish the Korean War Veterans Memorial Foundation. He served as the chairman of the foundation and then as its chair emeritus until his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The memorial is meant to honor what many call the \u201cForgotten War.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weber, when soliciting maintenance funds for the memorial\u2019s upkeep, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2015\/10\/12\/korean-war-veterans-memorial-gets-1m-donation-from-samsung\/\">told Military Times there is<\/a> \u201ca lack of public knowledge of the Korean War itself, even though more than 36,000 U.S. troops died and more than 103,000 were wounded in the conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, Weber felt the memorial was incomplete. He had hoped to add to it a wall of remembrance. In 2016, Congress granted that wish. Construction began on the memorial\u2019s remembrance wall in March 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHis vision was to add a Wall of Remembrance,\u201d according to the Korean War Veterans Memorial Foundation. \u201cAfter many years of hard work and determination, Bill\u2019s dream of honoring and thanking those who gave the ultimate sacrifice is nearly complete.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On July 27, 2022, the Korean War Veterans Memorial\u2019s Wall of Remembrance will be dedicated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weber served during World War II and the Korean
