In recognition of the Branchburg Veterans Memorial Committee. Dedicated November 11, 2000 [includes other wars] Honoring those who served in the Civil War, 1861-1865 Abraham Lincoln called this nation ""a house divided"". The Civil War divided our nation and took more American lives than any war in history. It began when Southern troops fired on Fort Sumter on April 19, 1861. It was generally agreed that Americans had much in common, but the free and slave states also had more basic differences besides slavery. The turning point of the Civil War came about after the Southern Army of Virginia engaged the Union Army at Gettysburg on July 1-3, 1863, suffering terrible losses. Following the South's retreat from Gettysburg, never again was the Confederate Army able to mount a major offensive against the North. General Robert E. Lee surrendered his ragged army to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia on April 19, 1865."

While serving as an assistant surgeon in the Army, he developed a simple visual signaling system which in 1860 was adopted by the Army. In 1860 Myer became the first signal officer with the rank of Major and when the Signal Corps was established in 1863 as a separate branch of the Army, he was promoted to Colonel. In 1865 he was brevetted a Brigadier General in recognition of his services during the Civil War. Under his leadership the signal corps became an integral part of the Army and Congress recognized its efficiency and value by establishing the first United States Weather Bureau under its supervision. The insignia of the Signal Corps--the flags and torch--were the first means of military communication employed by General Myer.

We fought hard for our country, we fought hard for our honor, but now just our memories remain. We stand for our country, we stand for our future We are proud of the price that we paid. And we know that our children embrace all their freedoms and we know that they would all do the same. What do we tell our children, and each generation just what the fighting was for? What a price they must suffer, the fathers and mothers, who send their own sons off to war. We stand for our country, we stand for our future We are proud of the price that we paid. And we know that our children embrace all their freedoms and we know that they would all do the same. Kevin A. McCann June 4, 1998 The Old Monument Speaks Here I have stood for many years. Placed here by patriots mid lusty cheers. Millions of people have passed me by, Millions of hearts have heaved a sigh. I am a memory of living and dead, who struggled for the Union as Lincoln said. The struggle was bitter and the toll was great. Brother killed brother, love turned to hate. I must give way to the automobile. That is the way I was made to feel. Surely some spot can be found. The ideals I stand for I still can profound. But alas, here comes the junkman with stout rope. He has pulled me to the concrete and my back is broke. Where are the citizens of yesteryear, who placed me here with lusty cheers? I think the citizens of Hackettstown could at least have gently taken me down. I was a memorial to the boys of Sixty-Five, but few of them are now alive. Who remembers the famous day and year when the patriots of Hackettstown placed me here? The boys it seems are not forgotten, as I lie in the junk pile to rust and rotten. Charles Augustus Stewart Gulick January 14, 1927 Remember you are Jerseymen I stand before you calm and serene. My expression belies the horrors I’ve seen. My coat of blue, now bronze bereaved, a patina of age I never achieved. We find in life tempests to brave, swords to clash and ideals to save. I saw my duty to follow such light, no matter the fury or how dark the night. I stand as a guidon for Jerseymen fair, protecting our Union from threats we share. Though I stand a statue, a Jerseyman Blue, I was once a young man made of flesh like you. No more verdant hills or streams will I roam. To you I bequeath this land as your home. Protect her and the children from tyrants and fools and “Remember you are Jerseymen” where freedom rules. Gerard A.
