Take the family on drive to the northern part of the county, and then a beautiful, short hike to celebrate the nation's freedom.
At Lasdon Park, the Trail of Honor comprises a series of 12 stone cairns that display the busts of combat soldiers from every major American conflict, dating from the American Revolution through Operation Desert Storm.
Also located along the trail is the Korean War Memorial, a tribute to all Westchester residents who served in what was called "The Forgotten War," which lists the names of Westchester servicemen who lost their lives during this conflict.

At the end of the Trail of Honor is the Westchester Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a sculpture that is comprised of three seven-foot bronze statues that depict a soldier carrying a wounded comrade, with a nurse reaching out to assist them. Nearby, a flagpole is set on a base with inscriptions of Westchester County servicemen and eight women nurses killed in Vietnam. A cobblestone walkway encircling this memorial affords breathtaking views of the Muscoot River.
