A bill has been submitted to the U.S. Congress to build a huge memorial wall at the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington.

A congressional source says that five members of Congress including Texas Republican Ralph Hall submitted the bill on Friday ahead of the 58th anniversary of the Korean War armistice.
The legislation calls for building the wall and inscribing the names of some 33-thousand U.S. soldiers who fought and died during the Korean War.

Representative Hall is known to have presented the bill following a request by Korean War veteran Colonel William Weber, who recently visited him in Washington D.C.

The Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington opened in 1995 on the 42nd anniversary of the war's armistice. Currently there is a wall engraved with the faces of U.S. soldiers who fought in the war as well as the sculptures of 19 soldiers.

The Korean War ended in an armistice on July 27th, 1953.
