Artist Creates Korean War Mural

As this year marks 65 years since the start of the Korean War, a new 20-foot tall black-and-white mural in downtown Amherst, Ohio, pays tribute to veterans of America's "Forgotten War." It is the third mural for local artist Mike Sekletar, who has painted the outside wall of a two-story brick building into a historic timeline. The Korean War mural features a silhouette of the Korean peninsula surrounded by combat soldiers, fighter jets, a battleship and a nurse. The mural was inspired by the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. A picture of the mural is available on the American Legion website.
