The Honor Roll Project - Lawrence and Cedarhurst, NY


As part of Heather Wilkinson Rojo's Honor Roll Project, I have transcribed these Rolls of Honor in Cedarhurst, NY to make the names visible to search engines so that family researchers can find them. 

Cedarhurst Memorial Plaza is a beautiful spot created after 9/11. It contains the Flagpole Memorial that was erected in 1922.





The Flagpole Memorial contains five plaques. The first is an Honor Roll of those who died in WWI.

Harry P. Bruhn
John R. Lantry
John E. Mitchell
Gordon L. Rand
Philip N. Rhinelander
James L. Scanlan
John J. Sullivan
Ralph B. Watts
Lawrence J. Wood

The second is dedicated to the men of Lawrence and Cedarhust who were killed in WWII.

This plaque was erected by the Lawrence-Cedarhurst American Legion post and is in memory of those lost in Korea and Vietnam.




Korea:
Anthony Molinaro
Edgar J. Treacy
Bernard J. Gilroy

Vietnam:
George J. Canamare
George W. Carpenter

The next plaque at the flagpole honors four chaplains who went down on the same ship and gave their life jackets to others so they might live. None of the four has any connection to this area that I could find, but there seem to be at least a few memorials around the country to these brave men.



The last plaque here is a tribute to the veteran.


This post marks the end of my work on this project for now. I have found a few more rolls of honor that I have not been able to photograph as of now, but I will at some point in the future. I've really enjoyed getting to see the various ways that our Long Island veterans are remembered by their communities and I hope that this work helps their descendants find them on these monuments.

*I like to transcribe faithfully, but I couldn't ignore such an obvious error. A Google search led me to a census page for the Marinaccio family that included three brothers; Dominick, Frank and Ralph. I decided to leave Doninick, but add a Dominick.
