John Noonan

John Noonan staffs the Korean War Memorial information stand and anchors a modest, practical bridge between institutional commemoration and the living network of veterans who frequent nearby public spaces. A veteran himself, he dispenses terse, useful directions and quietly records visitors in the stand book. He operates from a place of matter‑of‑fact concern rather than grand rhetoric, offering leads and brief courtesies that steer others — like Toby Ziegler — toward the homeless servicemen who otherwise fall outside official notice. His presence gestures toward informal stewardship of memorial spaces and the communities they touch.
