The Philadelphia Korean War Memorial is a site that commemorates all the Korean War veterans from Philadelphia and the four adjacent Pennsylvania counties. The central area of the memorial contains four columns, one for each year of the war, with the names of all the Philadelphia-area servicemen who were killed in action, missing in action, or taken as a prisoner of war but never returned and presumed dead. Two names are also included for those involved in protecting the border between North and South Korea during the Cold War era.

As of 2016, there are a total of 628 names listed among all of the four central columns, based on complete panel images (see below): 282 - 1950; 212 - 1951; 69 - 1952; 63 - 1953; 2 - 1960s (on the final 1953 panel; note that one of the Cold War era names is listed twice). Included in those counts are names which were added to the final panel for each respective year: 10 - 1950; 7 - 1951; 5 - 1952; 1 - 1953.
