This statue was put up in Bayonne, NJ to honor Second Lieutenant Stephen R. Gregg, a Bayonne resident, and Medal of Honor recipient. Gregg received his Medal of Honor for his actions in the European theater in WWII. The park was originally named Bayonne Park before being renamed to honor Gregg in 1995. Then, the statue was put up in July 2021 at the entrance of Stephen R. Gregg park in Hudson County. Gregg is a hometown hero in Bayonne and a symbol of pride, hope, and courage for Bayonnites like myself. The dedication of this statue really cements his legacy and ensures that his heroic actions and sacrifices will never be forgotten.
