Florida XXI

Sebastian sits right on the water in Florida as does so much else. Here, however, also rests a memorial to many from various wars.

There are several of these triangular markers that bear only the conflict name, no names of the those who served or those who were lost.

One man from Sebastian was lost in 'Nam. His name is not recorded at the site so I will name him here:

SST. William E. Roller

There is little available information about this memorial or SST. Roller so, as always, if you know any info, I would love to know it and update this post.

These names are among those listed om surrounding paver stones. these stones are usually sold to honor someone and help raise funds for the memorial, either to build it or maintain it.

The memorial is located in Riverside Park.

Next time, on the 8th, we will see a repost of an Alabama post that had issues, so as always, join me there at 9:00am.

To see additional memorials from Florida, or any other state, please click the state name on the left side of this page.

Pennsylvania V con't.

These show an additional view of the memorial framed by the two flags, the soldier hurrying to meet his Mother, another POW marker and the word peace in Vietnamese and English.

This beautiful setting along the north shore of the Allegheny River was dedicated the first time on November 11, 1987 and then rededicated after the completion of the Riverside Park on June 23, 2002
