MONTFORD POINT MARINE MEMORIAL

The Montford Point Marines Memorial is dedicated to the legacy of nearly 20,000 African-Americans who served in the Marine Corps from 1942 - 1949, but trained in a segregated training facility know as Montford Point Camp, Jacksonville, NC.  The memorial tells the story through architecture and sculpture.  The memorial is located within the LeJeune Memorial Gardens in Jacksonville, NC.

MEMORIAL TIMELINE

WALL OF STARS





A wall of stars includes approximately 20,000 gold stars representing the number of Montford Point Marines that served during WWII. The absence of names on the wall is symbolic of the fact that no complete roster of Montford Point Marines has ever been located.
