Summary
| Description |
English: Barbosa WWII memorial at Bennett Park in Hudson Heights. A bronze plaque set in marble, (later reset in granite stone) was dedicated at the park's southeast corner in memory of Private First Class Emilio Barbosa (1926-1945), a United States Marine who enlisted in World War II at the age of 17. On March 27, 1945, Private Barbosa was manning a gun turret aboard the battleship USS Nevada at Okinawa Shima. As a Japanese Kamikaze plane attacked his ship, Barbosa fired and disabled the enemy aircraft. The plane plunged onto the deck of the battleship, and the bomb carried by the plane blew up on impact. The explosion mortally wounded 11 marines, including Barbosa, and injured 95 others. Barbosa grew up on Pinehurst Avenue in Hudson Heights (NYC Parks) |
