Yet parents still let their little tykes draw on the monument. See pic #2. Disrespectful.
I went to thus ceremony almost every year. I moved to Riverdale as it was too expensive to stay in my beloved Brooklyn. I missed a tribute to those who served in the wars and couldn't find anything in my new neighborhood. Such a shame.
