The New Jersey Korean War Memorial in Atlantic City serves as a tribute to the bravery and dedication of the 191,000 New Jerseyans who served during the Korean Conflict from 1950 to 1953. Erected on November 13, 2000, the monument features striking bronze figures, including a 12-foot Mourning Soldier, and serves as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom and democracy.

Designed by sculptors J. Tom Carrillo and Thomas Jay Warren, the memorial not only honors fallen service members but also aims to aid in healing the psychological wounds experienced by veterans and their families. With its reflective pools and walls bearing names of the honored, the memorial stands as a lasting tribute to those who paid the ultimate price in the struggle for peace and liberty.
