Veteran's Memorial Park in Merritt Island

We had to meet a client in Merritt Mall yesterday and after the meeting, we really had no plans where to go next. We saw this place which is just near the area of Merritt Mall. We decided to go and explore the Veteran's Memorial Park located at 400 S Sykes Creek Pkwy Merritt Island, FL 32952 and if you wanted to know the direction, call them at tel #(321) 453-1776.

CAPTION: " THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR (1861-1865) The American Civil War was also known as the war between the states for political, economic, and social reasons. Eleven states declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America. The secession led to war.

The conflict was the deadliest in American History, and resulted in over 620,000 soldier deaths from battle wounds and disease. Unlike any other war, brother fought against brother and father against son, with the surrender of the confederacy in 1865, the United States was restored. The impact of the war and issues is still felt today." Sponsored by: CSA Indian River Camp #17
