A national traveling memorial honoring American service members killed in the Global War on Terrorism will go on public display at County College of Morris next month, a short drive from Denville.
The Remembering Our Fallen exhibit arrives at the Randolph campus at 214 Center Grove Road on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2026, and opens to the public the following day. Viewing runs Friday, Sept. 25 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday, Sept. 26 and Sunday, Sept. 27 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Admission is free and no registration is required.
The exhibit pairs photographs with biographical information about the men and women who died in the conflict, so visitors see faces and personal histories rather than a list of names. Ceremonies are planned across the three days.
The NJ SOS Veteran Stakeholders Group is bringing the memorial to Morris County in partnership with the New Jersey Department of Veterans Affairs, the New Jersey Department of Military Affairs, Catholic Charities Diocese of Paterson, Welcome Home Vets of New Jersey and County College of Morris. County officials have tied the visit to the 25th anniversary commemoration of the Global War on Terrorism.
In its announcement, the group described the memorial as “a sacred space where our community can come together to remember and honor those who gave everything for our freedom,” a line credited to program manager A.J. Luna.
The visit lands in the same month as the Morris County 9/11 ceremony, which marks 25 years on Sept. 13, 2026.
County College of Morris runs a Veterans Resource Center on campus for veterans and military families. Denville residents who need help with benefits or services can also reach the Morris County Veterans Services Office at 973-285-6866.
