World War II Memorial - Hoboken

 

This World War II memorial features two soldiers returning from battle surrounded by guns with helmets on top of them. There are a total of 21 guns with helmets on top of them, and there is also a plaque which honors over 150 Hoboken soldiers who lost their lives in the war. It is located around Pier C in Hoboken which is very close to Frank Sinatra Park. The memorial was designed by Dean Marchetto architects. It cost $750,000 to build, and the money was funded by a combination of both city and state money. When the lovely citizens of Hoboken take a stroll along the Hudson they are blessed to see many wonderful parks and memorials, however, this memorial is always the one that catches my attention the most.
