HADDON HEIGHTS, N.J.
WAR MEMORIAL

Honoring Those Who Served In World War II, Korea, Vietnam, & The Persian Gulf

       One of Camden County's finest tributes to its fallen heroes, this monument is located at the eastern end of Haddon Lake Park in Haddon Heights NJ. Besides the 2 naval guns that flank the memorial, markers were laid down with the names, years of birth and death, and branch f service of each of Haddon Heights' WWII war dead, including Richard O. Kelleher of the Merchant Marine, a branch of service that  usually did not receive its due recognition. These markers were presented by the Mothers Service Club chapter of Haddon Heights.   

       If you have information or pictures which you would like to see included on this website, please contact me by e-mail.
