We The People Of

Rockland County

Thank Our Neighbors Who Answered

The Call Against Agression During The

Korean Conflict

I Am Certain That

However Great The Hardships

And The Trials

Which Loom Ahead, Our America

Will Endure And The

Cause Of Human Freedom

Will Triumph.

1950 - 1955

[ west plaque ]

From The East To The West,

Thousands Lay At Rest

To Provide An Everlasting Peace

For The World.

In Memory Of Those Who Gave Their

Lives To This End

World War II

No greater love can be shown than

when men and women so live and die

that their friends may be free . . . and

the flames that burn in their memories

call us to nobler deeds to help

make gentle the life of the world.

1941 - 1945

In Appreciation From The People Of

Rockland County

To Those Who Defended Freedom

In Foreign Lands Dirung

The Viet Nam Era

Too young to die so much you'll miss

If you were here we'd tell you this

Because of you, our son will see

A world of peace, all people free.

You paid the greatest price you could

We cannot thank you like we should

But when we see our flag go by,

We'll think of you and how you died.

1964 - 1973
