Beneath an eternal flame is a wall bearing the names of all New Jersey service members killed or missing in action, as well as a wall honoring the five New Jersey servicemen who were awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism in Korea. The Trump Organization yesterday purchased the unopened Atlantic City Hilton Hotel, a 624-room structure in the gaming center's marina area where it wants to operate a casino. The most memorable is the 12-foot high 'Mourning Soldier' who is clutching several dog tags and remembering his lost comrades.Īlso represented are a soldier and nurse helping a wounded soldier and two battlefield reliefs behind sheets of water cascading into reflecting pools. Memorial featuring bronze figures of heroic proportions, representing the servicemen and women who fought in Korea. It was created to ensure that future generations remember and honor the pride and dedication of those who served, the legacy they continued, and the freedom they preserved.
Approximately 7,600 service personnel remain unaccounted for. The Korean Conflict, 1950-1953, the nation's only undeclared war, claimed more than 36,000 American lives.
While strolling on AC boardwalk, I saw this.
