A 5015 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires battlefield cross memorials in NJ include replicas of vertical rifle, helmet, boots, and dog tags.

This bill requires all battlefield cross memorials in New Jersey - both existing and future - to include replicas of a vertical rifle, helmet, boots, and dog tags in the standard configuration established since the Gulf War (1991). It applies to every such memorial located within the state, mandating this specific design as a symbol of honor for fallen soldiers. The bill does not create new policies but standardizes memorial elements to align with the widely recognized post-Gulf War representation.
