New York XVII

Eisenhower Park is a wonderful tribute to many of our Nation's heroes. You can find many memorials here and I have written before about just one of the ones to Vietnam. There is also a great 9-11 Memorial, among the many resting here. Perhaps I will feature it at another time.

Today, I want to share the POW memorial we encountered immediately upon entering the park.

It, of course, honors all POW's, but is a little different due to the barbed wire encased upon the top.

A haunting depiction of POWs is emblazoned on the side.

Dog tags list the wars in which our soldiers were imprisoned.

At another time I will show you the other Vietnam memorial here and also a separate one to commemorate those lost to Agent Orange.

Eisenhower Park is located in East Meadows on Long Island and covers nearly 1000 acres. 

Next time, on the 21st, we will revisit Pennsylvania, so join me there at 9:00am.
