Dissertation:
New Jersey’s support to The First World War and It’s Memorialization.
Within the current political atmosphere of the US, statues and memorials are facing particularly serious reevaluations and scrutiny. I will look at the way that WWI Memorials have been presented in NJ along with another one or two that are remembrances of a unit that I served in during my military career. In addition, I will research and present NJ’s support of WWI as it relates to industry/manufacturing, military training/preparedness, and transportation (i.e., ports and rail).
