This Hero Park and Memorial is lovingly dedicated to the memory of the splendid sons of Staten Island who so nobly gave their lives in the World War

Dr. Lovis A. Dreyfvs
and his wife
Berta E. Dreyfvs
who deeded this land as a park to
The City of New York
to perpetvate the memory of the
Heroes of Staten Island
who made the svpreme sacrifice
in the World War.
