El Monumento de la Recordación (English: The Monument of Remembrance) is a memorial monument and monolith erected in San Juan, Puerto Rico that honors Puerto Ricans who have fallen in combat in service of the United States Armed Forces.[1][2][3][4] The monument was unveiled on May 19, 1996 as a granite wall engraved with the names of Puerto Rican soldiers who died during combat.[4] As of 2009, the monument was etched with the names of more than 2,000 service members.[5]
The monument largely contains the names of soldiers who had a Puerto Rico address at their time of enlistment and/or death. If a soldier had a stateside address their name is most likely not on the monument.[6] Because so many Puerto Ricans in the military list a United States address, their participation is underrepresented in statistics.[5]
A sculpture by Victor Gutierrez called Шаблон:Lang (Flame of eternity) is located in the center of monument.[6]
A service is held each year on Memorial Day at the Шаблон:Lang. In 2019, attendees learned that two fallen soldiers from Puerto Rico had been recently identified as part of the Recovery of US human remains from the Korean War.[7]
