     Richard John Harrison at THE CIVIL RIGHTS GARDEN, Atlantic City.  This was our first visit to this spot and we were delighted we took the time to visitt. It is a powerful tribute with sculpture inscriptions related to the history, events and people of the Civil Rights Movement.  At the center of the Garden is a bronze bell, which chimes throughout the day, and a reflection pool inscribed with excerpts from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Let Freedom Ring” speech and his “Letters from a Birmingham Jail”

 

     John Crowell Campbell with Rich at the NEW JERSEY KOREAN WAR MEMORIAL.  It is adjacent to the Boardwalk in Brighton Park, Park Place, Atlantic City.  The Memorial features a 12 foot high statue of “The Mourning Soldier” clutching dog tags and a group of  soldiers “under fire” emerging through a sheet of water just to his left.  The back wall, beneath an eternal flame, is engraved with the names of the 822 NJ soldiers who were killed or are still missing in action.

     John, a Navy Hospital Corpsman, served with the First Marine Air Wing in Korea.
