The O'Donnell Memorial Park, Atlantic City (Atlantic County)


The World War I Memorial is located in Atlantic City. The memorial was built in 1922. The rotunda houses a 9-foot bronze statue titled Liberty in Distress by Frederick W. MacMonnies. Inside the rotunda there are four medallions (Army, Navy, Marines, and Aviation) that alternate around the circumference of the frieze. The name of the battles in which Atlantic City soldiers fought are inscribed upon the architrave.
