In 1922, the Common Council of Huntington and members of the Huntington American Legion Post NO. 7, were moved by the passion of profound Americanism to forever perpetuate the memories of the war dead whose names are now and shall ever be part of Huntington's history. Therefore as a fitting tribute, a tribute which lies in material form, with gentle rolling sweeps of terrace, topped with majestic trees and otherwise endowed by nature... the public park space known as Cold Spring Park... "was rededicated on May 30, 1922 as Memorial Park.
Excerpts from Huntington Herald Press, 'CITY COUNCIL OFFERS PARK FOR MEMORIAL'
In effort to further this honorable cause, this Veteran's Memorial was dedicated on November 7, 2015.
