Korean War Memorial Sign-In Book
A modest paper sign-in book kept at the memorial information stand: lined pages for names and brief notes, a well-worn cover, and the faint smudge of many fingers. The stand worker lifts it across the counter and pushes it toward Toby as a prompt to write, creating a brief, reverent exchange.

Purpose
To record visitors' names and short comments at the memorial; a registry used when people stop to sign or leave notes.
Significance
Handing the book propels the encounter — it legitimizes Toby's presence, sparks the veteran-to-veteran recognition, and provides a practical lead that advances his search for the deceased; emotionally, the book embodies communal respect and small rites of remembrance.
