The Trenton War Memorial was restored and rededicated by the people of New Jersey on January 12, 1999, in honor of all those from the state who served with courage, dignity, and patriotism in the armed forces of the United States of America. It stands as a memorial to the soldiers, sailors, and other patriotic citizens of Trenton and Mercer County for their faithful service in times of national need, and it preserves the names of citizens of Trenton and Mercer County who made the supreme sacrifice for freedom in the World War.
