WWII WAR MEMORIAL

[Map of Camden]

       DEDICATED TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF CAMDEN, NJ
WHO SERVED THEIR COUNTRY FAITHFULLY
IN WORLD WAR II

       While it is true that there are monuments dedicated to some of the men and women who gave of themselves for our country in WWII, I felt that there was a need for far more than currently exists at the time. As of February 2002, I am aware of 3 stone monuments dedicated to various men from Camden who died during the war years while in service. There also exists a tribute on the a wall within City Hall, which unfortunately, is placed so high on the wall and lighted so poorly that no one can really view it or read the names on it. 
       I do not at this time have a complete listing of Camden war dead from World War II, so as of this date, this is a work in progress. I hope to assemble a page of some sort on each man from the City who made the supreme sacrifice for country during the war. Click on links where you find them, and on photos as well for enhanced views and to find out more about each individual.

       If you have information or pictures which you would like to see included on this website, please contact me by e-mail.
