On the south end of Manhattan in Battery Park stands the New York City Korean War Veterans Memorial.

An account of the resource
The 9/11 Memorial in New York City is located at the location of the former World Trade Center Twin Towers and covers half of the 16-acre site. The touching memorial honors all the 2,977 killed on September 11, 2001 in the terrorist attacks on the United States as well as the 6 who died in the previous bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. At the center of the memorial are two massive one acre reflecting pools which are the largest man-made waterfalls in North America. Bronze parapets with the inscribed name of all those killed surround the reflecting pools. Each day a white rose is left next to the name of those who have were born on that day. The memorial complex also houses a museum that sits on the bedrock of what was the World Trade Center which is seven stories below the reflecting pools. A memorial glade also honors all those who both worked as rescue/relief workers and those who lived in the area who have been killed or sickened by the toxins that were released in the destruction. On the anniversary of the attacks each year the names of all those who perished are read aloud. https://www.911memorial.org/

Description
An account of the resource
This 51-foot-high granite obelisk in New York City honors Major General William Jenkins Worth and serves as his tomb which is one of only 2 mausoleum monuments in the city (the other is Grant’s Tomb). The 2nd oldest monument park in the City sits at the confluence of Broadway, 5th Avenue and 24th Street. The obelisk has carved bands with the names of important battles in which Worth participated and on the front of the obelisk is a bronze bas relief sculpture of the general on his horse. On one side is inscribed the Latin phrase, “Ducit Amor Patriae” which means the love of country leads me. Four corner granite piers once held lamp posts but now serve as anchors for the surrounding cast-iron fence whose ornamental pickets replicate General Worth’s Congressional Sword of Honor. This magnificent monument was designed by James Goodwin Batterson and was dedicated on New York City’s Evacuation Day holiday of November 25, 1857 and the burial procession included 6,500 soldiers. General Worth was born in Hudson, New York and first served in the War of 1812; his distinguished service and valor resulted in his rapid promotion. His military service was a departure from his Quaker family’s pacifist values. He served as the fourth Commandant of Cadets at West Point, New York despite not having attended the Academy himself. He then served in the Second Seminole War in 1842 which resulted in his promotion to general. Worth then fought in most of the major battles of the Mexican War from Vera Cruz to Mexico City and was promoted to Major General in 1846. After the war he was given command of the Department of Texas but died in San Antonio of cholera in 1859. The monument, which has undergone extensive renovations in 1995 is now supported by an endowment from his great-great grandson, Commander UNSR James W. Woodruff, Jr. The city of Fort Worth, Texas is named for the general.

Description
An account of the resource
In Father Duffy Square in the Times Square area of Manhattan resides the beautiful bronze statue of Father France Duffy who had a long history as a military chaplain. The statue stands in front of a large granite Celtic cross and actually faces towards the priest’s old church, Holy Cross at 237 West 42nd Street. Born in Canada, Duffy moved to New York in the last 1800s and was ordained as a priest in 1898. He served as the chaplain for the Fighting 69th Infantry of the National Guard from New York where he served in first in the Spanish-American War and then a military hospital on Long Island before moving to the Bronx as a parish priest. During World War I, he returned to the 69th and served with them in Europe where he earned numerous medals including the Distinguished Service Cross, the Legion of Honor and the Croix de Guerre. When he returned to New York after the war, he became pastor of Holy Cross. After his death in 1932, the city named the new park at this location in his honor in 1934 and the memorial, designed by Charles Keck, was dedicated in 1937. The Memorial is now in the center of a major tourist destination.
