The Honor Roll Project - Floral Park, NY

As part of Heather Wilkinson Rojo's Honor Roll Project, I have transcribed these Rolls of Honor in Floral Park to make the names visible to search engines so that family researchers may find them. Please consider finding the Honor Roll(s) in your town or village and transcribing them on your blog or website. And even if you don't have a blog or website, see the Honor Roll Project for instructions on how you can submit a transcription.

Floral Park, NY is an incorporated village in Nassau County on Long Island and a neighborhood in the neighboring boro of Queens.  Memorial Park is located on a square at Plainfield Avenue, Tulip Avenue, and Floral Parkway.

The plaque below, dedicated by the Floral Park Servicemen's Organization, is "a tribute to the men and women of the community who served in the armed forces in peace and in war.

Remembered on the plaques below are two men of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth who fought for the colonies in the Revolution; Gen. Tadeusz Kosciuszko and Gen. Kazimierz Pulaski. I don't know about the rest of the country, but these are familiar names on Long Island, even to those without knowledge of Revolutionary heroes. The Kosciuszko Bridge connects Greenpoint, Brooklyn to Maspeth, Queens (both boroughs of New York City) and the Pulaski Skyway is a bridge-causeway in New Jersey.

This separate monument above sits just outside the square pictured at the top of my post, but in the same triangle.
