Soilder’s and Sailor’s Monument, Bloomfield, NJ

 This weekend, I went to Bloomfield center and saw the Soilder’s and Sailor’s Monument. It was erected in 1912 to celebrate the one hundred year anniversary of the town, and as a dedication and memorial to honor those in the Army and Navy in Bloomfield. On One side it reads “A tribute to the dead, a memory for the living, and inspiration for posterity.” And on the other “God grants liberty only to those who love it and are always ready to guard and defend it.” Behind the Statue it reads, “Dedicated in connection of the one hundredth anniversary of the incorporation of Bloomfield 1812-1912.”
