Memorial Dedicated
Close to one thousand people attended the dedication ceremony of the
New Jersey Korean War Memorial located in Atlantic City. Korean Community
members sounded a ceremonial gong followed by a nine-gun salute. The ceremony
concluded with a flyover of four 177th Fighter Wing F-16C aircraft. The
Memorial features a 12-foot statue of "The Mourning Soldier" and a wall
with the names of the 822 New Jerseyans who were killed or missing in action.

Battalion flag for a final time on September 17. The missile maintenance
company's mission was consolidated with the two other maintenance companies
in the battalion and the unit was eliminated because of a change in force
structure. All E Company personnel were successfully placed in other companies
before the colors were retired. Photo by Col. John Dwyer, PAO, NJDMAVA.
