Clifton Park Gathers Tomorrow to Honor Local Veterans
Sea Cliff, NY · November 10, 2026
Midweek preparations are quietly underway down at the memorial rock this morning as the village readies for tomorrow's Veterans Day gathering. With overcast skies settling in overhead, it is a morning best navigated with a warm cup in hand.
The Lead
Clifton Park's annual Veterans Day gathering tomorrow at 11:00 AM centers around a storied piece of village history: a massive glacial boulder inscribed with the names of 108 Sea Cliff residents who served in World War I, framed by eight towering oak trees planted in 1919 for the eight young men who died in Europe. Organized by the James F. Brengel American Legion Post 456, the brief, poignant outdoor observance has brought neighbors together for more than a century to mark the signing of the armistice. Commander Phil Como will lead the program, joined by local clergy and village officials, keeping alive a tradition that bridges the village's founding generations with modern service members. Attendees typically gather on the grass near the monument just before eleven o'clock, with the ceremony proceeding rain or shine.
