Vietnam Memorial New Jersey

New Jersey

Reflections of names of those who died in Vietnam War. Located in New Jersey South Shore, has 365 Marble/Granite columns with names & dates of when they died. One for each day of the year, forming a perfect circle in this amazing memorial.
The New Jersey Vietnam Veterans Memorial sits on a gently sloping hillside off exit 116 on the Garden State Parkway near the Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel. The Garden State's beautiful and inspiring Memorial to its men and women who served during the Vietnam War sits on a lush, 10-acre site visible to motorists passing by on the Parkway.

Comprised of 366 polished black granite panels, each 8-feet high, this Memorial honors all those who served and, in particular, pays tribute to New Jersey's sons and daughters who went to Southeast Asia but did not return. The panels, one for each day of the year, are engraved with the names of more than 1,500 Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen from New Jersey, who were killed or are still listed as missing in action
