In a plaza in Battery Park at the south end of Manhattan and facing the Statue of Liberty is the national World War II monument to those servicemen who lost their lives in combat in the Atlantic Ocean and who are missing at sea.

An account of the resource
At the southwest corner of Central Park adjacent to Columbus Circle stands the massive memorial fountain honoring the USS Maine and those who served in the Spanish-American War in 1898. The monument is composed of a large granite pylon topped by a gilded statue of a female figure on a clam shell chariot being drawn by three seahorses; this is known as Columbia Triumphant. In front of the pylon is a group of symbolic figures representing courage and victory as well as justice. The names of those who were lost on the USS Maine are inscribed on one side of the pylon. The memorial composed mainly of granite and marble was designed by H. Van Buren Magonigle and Attilio Piccirilli.

Description
An account of the resource
The New York City memorial to the Vietnam War and its veterans is located in what was once known as Jeanette Park (named for the flagship of failed Arctic Expedition in the late 1800s). The Plaza was renamed in 1982 and the Memorial placed here. The centerpiece of the plaza is a large wall of glass blocks onto which are inscribed poems, letters and diary entries written by the veterans themselves; at the base of the wall is a granite shelf. This part of the plaza was designed by Peter Wormser and Williams Fellows (architects) and writer/veteran Joseph Ferrandino. In 2001 extensive renovations enhanced the plaza with a new entrance and landscaping as well as more information. The plaza includes a walkway of granite pylons with bronze plaques containing the inscribed the names of all 1, 741 U.S. military personnel from New York City who are listed as killed in action, missing in action or prisoners of war from the conflict in Vietnam from 1957-1975. There is also a large flat steel map of Vietnam that includes sites of battles. The memorial plaza was dedicated on May 4, 1985 and then again on November 9, 2001 when it was redesigned.

An account of the resource
In Riverside Park on the Upper West Side of Manhattan stands the regal Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Monument which was built by the City of New York to honor those who fought for the Union in the war. The large 100-foot-tall circular Greek-style temple with 12 columns at the center sits on a raised platform and large plinths at the top of the south stairs list the New York Volunteer Units that served in the war as well as Union generals and the battles in which they fought. The top of the structure is surrounded by carved eagles. The monument was designed by Charles and Arthur Stoughton who won a competition in 1897; Paul Duboy served as the sculptor. The monument was dedicated on Memorial Day in 1902 at the culmination of parade of veterans.

Description
An account of the resource
On the south end of Manhattan in Battery Park stands the New York City Korean War Veterans Memorial. This large cut-out of a soldier shape in a standing stele of polished black granite represents the “Universal Soldier” and allows the viewer to see through the granite to the Statue of Liberty. It was created by Mac Adams and dedicated in 1991 and is meant to signify the void left by death. The base of the monument has mosaic flags of all the nations that participated in the United Nations mission in Korean and the granite courtyard paving around the monument is inscribed with the numbers of killed, wounded, and missing from each nation.
