Reminder: Two Strike Park War Memorial Dedication Planned for Sunday
The site will include a plaque bearing the names of 45 people from the La Crescenta-Montrose area who were killed in action in wars from the 20th and 21st Century.
The official dedication ceremony of the new Two Strike Park War Memorial is scheduled for Sunday at noon.
The memorial was built in 1959 at the park at 5107 Rosemont Avenue in La Crescenta by American legion 288 and included a wall tribute to all men and women who had given their lives serving their country. The new memorial will include a plaque with the names of 45 people from the La Crescenta-Montrose area who were killed in action in wars from the 20th and 21st Century.
"We hope to celebrate with a few activities up at the park for the kids and thank everyone in the community, all the politicians and all the businesses and everyone that has contributed," Mike Baldwin of the local Verdugo Hills Post 288 and VFW Post 1614 told Patch.
