Description:
The recipient of nine WWII Battle Stars, the Battleship ALABAMA and her crew of 2,500 saw action in the Atlantic for a year before joining the Pacific Fleet in mid-1943. There she fought at such key locations as Leyte, the Gilbert Islands and Okinawa. After the signing of the war-ending surrender documents in September 1945, ALABAMA, or the “Mighty A,” as she was known, led the American Fleet into Tokyo Bay. |

Patriots Theater at The War Memorial |
 |
Description:
Opened in 1932, The War Memorial was built as "a great community center" dedicated to the memory of the soldiers and sailors from Mercer County who died fighting World War I. The building is a National and State Historic Site.
The aim of the founding War Memorial Committee was to combine "beauty, dignity, and civic utility." The building houses an 1,807-seat, fully-equipped theater for performances and assemblies, and also a number of stately rooms for other purposes such as meeting and conferences.
On August 8, 2001, a renaming ceremony declared that the theater at the War Memorial would be known as Patriots Theater. New Jersey is a state of every day heroes and world-class patriots. Naming the Patriots Theater at the War Memorial is a way to recognize the patriots of the past and the patriots among us today. The renaming ceremony also ushered in several new names for the various meeting and conference spaces at the War Memorial - The George Washington Ballroom, The Delaware River Room, The Turning-Point Conference Room, and The Woodrow Wilson Board Room. |
