Memorial to slain New Jersey State Police Trooper Phil Lamonaco, who was shot to death in 1981 on Interstate 80 in Warren County.

The incident occurred when he stopped two members of a radical environmental group, known as the United Freedom Front, on I-80. The suspects robbed banks to fund their radical operations which included bombing energy sites.

A seven mile portion of I-80 was renamed and dedicated in Trooper Lamonaco's memory.
