The Eternal Flame War Memorial of Roxbury

 

This Memorial is located in my hometown of Roxbury, New Jersey.  A plaque on the memorial reads, "Erected by the people of Roxbury Township to perpetuate the memory of all those who have faithfully served their country.  The memorial is split into four sections representing World War I, World War II, The Vietnam War, and the Korean War.  In each section it list the names of Roxbury residents who have died in battle at their respected war.  The middle of the memorial is a circle filled with stones.  In the circle, their is a hand holding in a torch sticking out of the stones.  The torch represents the eternal flame that makes sure we remember everyone's name on the memorial.  Roxbury Township has a Memorial Day Parade every year and The Eternal Flame War Memorial of Roxbury is the destination of the parade and ceremonies take place there every year at the end of the parade.
