In 2003 the City of Moriarty adopted the project of the Memorial of Perpetual Tears making it eligible for public funding.

It is the nation's first National DWI Victims' Memorial. For more information on the Memorial of Perpetual Tears, please visit the official website at www.dwimemorialofperpetualtears.org.
