Inscription.
The Village of Garden City takes great pride in the service its veterans have provided to the nation and the ultimate sacrifice of those honored here.

Since the Civil War, the proud history of this village includes a rich heritage of military bases where soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen lived and trained. Many spent their last days and nights in America on Garden City soil. Some never returned. We also honor these adopted sons and daughters.

A project five years in the making from conception to construction, the new Garden City War Memorial was unveiled at the village’s Memorial Day observance on Monday, May 30 [2011]. The memorial replaces the village’s existing memorial on Seventh Street, opposite the Garden City Hotel. “It is a magnificent rendering of respect for those from Garden City who have served in the military to guarantee our wonderful way of life and especially for those whose lives were taken from us in moments of personal bravery,” said John C. Donovan, Commander, William Bradford Turner Post 265, who directed the ceremony.
