It is comprised of 366 eight-foot-tall black granite panels, each representing a day of the year. Casualties are listed on the granite panels on the day they were killed. The May seventh panel, the day the war ended, is oriented toward Vietnam. The Memorial honors the sacrifices made by the 1,562 New Jersey men and one woman who gave their lives while serving in Southeast Asia and, at the same time, pays tribute to all who have served.
