Korean War memorial... a memorial that deserves to be forgotten?

[Platapus]

This year, in Chillicothe, Ohio a new Korean War memorial was erected.





This is the engraved image on the granite memorial to commemorate the Korean War 1950-1953.

Notice anything "odd" about this image? A lot of people have.

What's wrong with this image?

 

1. At the far left there is an image of a Huey UH-1 which entered service in 1959
2. In the lower left we have military in 21st century headgear
3. There are F-16s which entered service in 1970's
4. In the lower right is a picture of the Washington Korean memorial including the POW/MIA flag which was designed in 1972
5. Just above it there is an M1A1 Abrams tank which went into service in 1980
6. In the lower center are soldiers in Vietnam.

Evidently no one on the various committees bothered to check what the artist was submitting. But, hey, its not big deal... it is not like it is carved in stone or something...

"Herman Strausbaugh, 81, a Korean War veteran who helped get the memorial built, said he wants to memorial to stay despite the complaints of "nit pickers."

"Strausbaugh said the committee members did not notice the inaccuracies when they saw an image of the planned memorial."
