    Remarks at the Korean War Memorial
    July 25, 2003

        I'm here to honor those who served in Korea. There is a very
    profound statement here at this moving memorial. It says, ``Freedom is
    not free.'' And today we honor those--this weekend we honor those who
    served in the cause of freedom in the Korean war.
        This memorial is--and those who served in Korea also remind us of
    the challenges we face today, and it gives us a chance to reflect on the
    sacrifices that are being made on behalf of freedom today. And our
    Nation will be eternally grateful for the men and women who serve today,
    as we are for those who have served in the past.

    Note: The President spoke at 7:10 a.m. A tape was not available for
