The Rudy Macina Memorial Peace Plaza at the corner of Williamsbridge Road and Pelham Parkway came alive for a wonderful Memorial day ceremony. As you can see in the photo above there are monuments to soldiers who fought in World War 1, World War 11, The Korean War, The Vietnam War, and the Persian Gulf War. The photos should tell the story.
