World War II was the greatest military victory for the United States. It was an effort in which every citizen contributed and had a stake in the outcome, along the front lines and the home front. It was a war neither the United States nor our Allies could afford to lose.

Today, America is rapidly saying goodbye to our "Greatest Generation" of citizens.The State of New Jersey is taking the initiative to honor and remember them by creating a memorial in Trenton across from the State House at Veterans Park.
