El Monumento de la Recordación (English: 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] The monument was unveiled on May 19, 1996 as a granite wall in semicircular shape engraved with the names of those Puerto Rican soldiers that have fallen in war. As of today the monument is etched with the names of more than 2,000 service members.[4]
