Veterans Day

"Welcome to Concord." After a year plus of discord, it was calming to see this sign along with the World War II memorial at the intersection of Clove Road and Targee Street on Staten Island.

The plaque on the memorial reads:

ERECTED AND AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED TO THE MEMORY OF THE HEROIC MEN AND WOMEN OF CONCORD, STATEN ISLAND, AS A TRIBUTE TO THE SELF SACRIFICING SPIRIT THAT THEY DISPLAYED IN THEIR COUNTRY'S SERVICE DURING THE MOMENTOUS YEARS OF 1941-1945.

"MAY GOD'S BLESSINGS REST UPON THEM."

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
