About This Memorial

The New Jersey Korean War Memorial, dedicated on November 13, 2000, honors those who served in the Korean Conflict. Located where Park Place meets the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, it features bronze figures of heroic proportions, including a striking 12-foot tall 'Mourning Soldier' clutching dog tags in remembrance of fallen comrades. The memorial includes an eternal flame and walls listing the names of New Jersey service members killed or missing in action, as well as those awarded the Medal of Honor. Designed by sculptors J. Tom Carrillo and Thomas Jay Warren, it serves as a poignant tribute to the sacrifices made during the Korean War.

"I loved visiting the New Jersey Korean War Memorial. It’s a deeply moving tribute, featuring stories of Congressional Medal of Honor recipients from New Jersey. These personal accounts of bravery and sacrifice are truly inspiring, reminding us of the courage displayed during the Korean War. The memorial itself is beautifully designed, with thoughtful details that honor the memory of the fallen and those who served. It’s a meaningful place for reflection and gratitude, and I highly recommend taking the time to visit. If you’re ever in the area, it’s well worth experiencing this important piece of history."
