New Jersey XI

Previously, I visited Berlin, New Jersey and photographed a memorial set in a Veterans Park. It was a nice little park with several memorials to various wars. The memorial to Vietnam was a plaque honoring all those who served, but no names were listed.

Last April the town rectified that by dedicating a new plaque listing the 28 from the area who served or were lost. So, I returned to honor those listed and to, of course, update this site.

This is the original memorial and the one I listed here quite some time ago. You can find that post elsewhere on this site.

Here is the park today with the new updated memorial.

The park sits at the intersection of E. Taunton and White Horse Pike.

Two 'Nam vets from the Borough worked tirelessly to have the site updated at least to honor the one KIA from the town. Eventually they won out and the 27 others from the Borough were all included. This had been the only memorial without the names of those who served or were lost listed, they got this rectified.

Several hundred people attended the re-dedication to these heroes, living and dead.

As I have told you before we just dedicated a brand new memorial in my home town to our 130 lost or MIA and I think that it is really remarkable the memorials are still being built or updated. I hope the trend continues until all are honored and that we are sure that all have been returned and accounted for to the very last hero.

Next time, on the 9th, we will return to New Mexico, so join me there at 9:00am.
