The Cenotaph was created to honor those “Passaic Boys” who fought and in some cases died in the Great World War (later to be called world War I) The attached photographs, show General Pershing, Robert D. Benson and Lieutenant George C. Marshall, in an open touring car and the Cenotaph as it appeared a decade later. It shows the two gentlemen who led the United States Military in both World Wars; another great day in the history of our proud city, Passaic, New Jersey!
92 years later, to the day, we once again gather, at Passaic’s hallowed ground to remember, salute and pay our respects to all of Passaic’s sons and daughters who served and gave their all, in the cause of freedom and liberty!
