The Design of the Veterans Monument
by Robert E. Dishman (USMC 1966-1968)
Wanting a Veterans Monument that would represent ALL VETERANS, PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE; that would represent the ARMY, the NAVY, the MARINE CORPS, the AIR FORCE, the COAST GUARD and the MERCHANT MARINE, and that would represent service during times of PEACE and times of WAR; was quite a challenge.
Our monument has two faces - one facing West towards Merrick Avenue and the other facing East towards Little Whaleneck Road. The center and base stones are Jet-Black granite which came from Africa. The tow side stones or "wings" are Mahogany granite which was mined in North Dakota (Symbolic of the wars fought at home and on foreign soil).
