Honor Roll Project - Malverne, New York

Malverne is an incorporated village in Nassau County on Long Island. It is a picturesque little village with a lovely spot for its memorial park, quiet and peaceful late on a weekday morning, in spite of its proximity to Malverne's main commuter railroad station.

Although the sign on this gazebo says, "Chester A. Reese Veterans Memorial Park" others are remembered here, too.

To the left of the gazebo are two Honor Rolls.

This one honors the following Malvernites who were killed in action:

Phillip P. Bonnano

Bernard Brockwehl

Byron Carpenter

Herbert Chamberlain

Terrence J. Cullen

Winthrop Cummings

Frank Dressner

Bruce Englander

William Esposito

Donald Funk

Fred Helbrecht

Albert E. Herricht

John Kolczynksi

Charles K. Miles

Steven Moody

John Pobeschein

James Prior

Lincoln Ricker

James Francis Rost

Kubik Rudolph

William Saunders

William Schwaner

Frank Sherwood

John Sonderman

Harry Spitzenberg

Charles Telzerow

Theodore D. Toscano

Thomas Vollenweider

Everett Wehr

If you have found an ancestor in my post, please let me know in the comments even if it is anonymously. Also, if you would like a close-up of your ancestor's name in any memorial, I'd be happy to go back and get a better photo, I don't live far from here.

A link to this post will be added to the Honor Roll Project. Anyone can transcribe the names on a monument on a website or blog and provide the link to Heather Wilkinson Rojo at her email address, vrojomit@gmail.com,  she will then add it to the Honor Roll Project website.
