From NJ TRANSIT's website:

Newark City Subway Broad Street Station Renamed Military Park Station

Effective Saturday, September 4, 2004, the name of Newark City Subway Broad Street Station will be changed to Military Park Station to honor our nation's veterans.

This renaming will also help avoid confusion when construction of the Newark City Subway extension to Newark Broad Street Rail Station is completed.
