The Mourning Soldier is reflected on the Honor Roll at the New Jersey Korean War Memorial in Atlantic City, New Jersey, July 3, 2013. The New Jersey Korean War Veterans Memorial was created to honor the 191,000 New Jerseyans who served in the conflict, was dedicated on Nov. 13, 2000, and stands where Park Place meets the Boardwalk on land donated by Atlantic City. The Memorial features bronze figures of heroic proportions, representing the servicemen and women who fought in Korea. The most prominent being the 12-foot high "Mourning Soldier" who is clutching several dog tags and remembering his lost comrades. Also represented are a Soldier and a nurse helping a wounded soldier and two battlefield reliefs behind sheets of water cascading into reflecting pools. Beneath a sculpted eternal flame is a wall with the names of all New Jersey service members killed or missing in action. In addition, a bas-relief sculpture wall honors the five New Jersey servicemen who were awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism in Korea. New Jersey has two additional state war memorials – the New Jersey Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial in Holmdel and the New Jersey World War II Memorial in Trenton.
