Photo of WWII memorial (6/24)

A memorial on the banks of the Delaware River for the U.S. Merchant Marine Veterans and U.S. Navy Armed Guard Veterans who served on the merchant ships and manned the guns during World War II was dedicated on June 11 near the battleship New Jersey, in the historic area of the Camden, N.J. waterfront. The memorial is pictured below, courtesy of retired mariner Charles Mardigian. The large bronze propeller serves as the focal point. Landscaping, six flag poles, eight benches for seating and a brick promenade also are in place.
