Veterans Day only comes once a year. But memorials are with us every day. In fact, Battery Park in lower Manhattan teems with Veterans Memorials. The most poignant drowns a Merchant Marine daily. Nearby, a soldier’s silhouette serves as tribute to Korean War Veterans. Just around the corner from there, an eagle lifts its wings. This glorious bird’s at the helm of stone tablets reaching to the sky. Each granite block lists the names of veterans lost in WWII – organized by military branch. They call this eagle-eyed area the East Coast Memorial.
