It’s time for a longtime favorite feature of redbankgreen readers: the weekly “Where Have I Seen This?”
Do you know where the above photo was taken?

Subscribers to redbankgreen‘s newsletter get the “Where” photo sent to their inboxes every week.
While a new revamped newsletter is under construction, we’ll post the photo here on the main site to keep the tradition alive.

Meantime, here’s the answer to last week’s “Where”
Last week’s “Where” photo was of a pair of benches (and a glimpse of some of the plaques) at the Red Bank Veterans Monument near the old borough hall at 51 Monmouth Street.
The statue, at the corner of Monmouth Street and Drummond Place, is titled “Handing Down Old Glory,” and depicts a Civil War Veteran handing the United States Flag to soldiers of World War I and the Spanish-American War, who flank him.
Bronze plaques on and around the statue pay homage to veterans and fallen heroes of World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf War.
Just an aside, but something strange is happening. This is the second time in recent weeks that redbankgreen has snapped a photo for the “Where Have I Seen This” feature only to find ourselves back at that same location for a news story (see our story about the opening of Lakehouse Music Academy at 51 Monmouth) later in the week.
Makes you wonder what kind of news will break out at this week’s location…
