This memorial to Father Emil J. Kapaun is located outside the post chapel in Kapaun Barracks- Kaiserslautern, Germany. Father Kapaun (Captain) was serving with the 8th Cavalry Regiment during the Korean War when he was taken prisoner. He died while a POW insuring that his fellow POWs received physical comforts to his own deprivation. Of course he also provided the spiritual comfort needed under the harshest of conditions. In 2013 he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in Korea. A book about Chaplain Kapaun 'A Shepherd In Combat Boots' by William Maher has been published.

I find this hard question to answer, My wife and I do a lot of history vacations, and all the monuments have an impact, some more than others.

Take a look at the only National World War I Museum it has some great 360 pictures and others.

National Air Force Memorial-Arlington, VA

Fredericksburg National Park.

There are many fine monuments at Gettysburg and sometimes you get lucky enough to view one of the monuments when the elements and surroundings add to the creative work of the sculptor. I captured this image in October 2007. General Meade seated on his horse 'Old Baldy' at Cemetery Ridge.

Monument to a loved one. From 2010 in rural Ohio. A son, a brother, an uncle, perhaps a husband and father, a Marine, a hero. The image still tugs at the heart.

Why I quit the VFW WWII vets not accepting Vietnam vets then Grenada the Panama then desert storm....when they started dying off then they did but the vfw I was in did not welcome blacks or women desert storm vets ... so I left.
