East Williston is an incorporated village in Nassau County on Long Island (not to be confused with another area named for a different Willis family in upstate NewYork) and the Village Green and rolls of honor sit near its train station just off of Hillside Avenue. This is one memorial I didn't have to Google since I just happened to notice the backs of the wreaths laid there last Memorial Day while I was sitting and waiting for a train to cross Hillside while I was on my way to work.
This memorial contains rolls of honor for World War I and World War II. It also contains plaques in recognition of the Korean War and the Vietnam War. It appears that a name was added to the Vietnam War plaque after it was made.

This plaque acknowledging the Korean War is dedicated to all the men and women who have served and those who have made the Supreme Sacrifice.
And this one is dedicated the same way but remembers the Vietnam War and specifically one man: William Nuebel, Jr. (1947-1967).
