The Cadman Park Conservancy is preparing for spring with plans to honor WWII veterans Roy and Jack Vanasco by establishing a memorial in the park's Brooklyn Memorial Garden. Conservancy President Doreen Gallo emphasizes the significance of this tribute, given the veterans' local impact and activism. The garden will feature dedicated plants, fenced off to ensure their preservation as they grow. The Memorial honors over 300,000 Brooklynites who served in WWII, with inscribed names of the fallen, making this tribute particularly meaningful within the community.
"We're busy planning for a vibrant and impactful planting season come spring, and we'll be planting something special for Roy and Jack in the Memorial Garden."
"The Memorial is dedicated to the more than 300,000 heroic Brooklyn men and women who served in World War II, including more than a dozen friends and neighbors the Vanasco brothers knew personally."
