[1] After the park was created, the circus and event field moved just east across Saratoga Avenue and continued operating until 1912.

[3] The memorial consisted of two scrolls listing the 104 men who died in the war, and, notably, the first woman Marine buried with full military honors.

In the late 20th century, the monument fell into disrepair; its plaques were stolen in 1970.

After the pedestal stood empty for more than ten years, discretionary funding was allocated by Councilmember Darlene Mealy to recreate the monument from archival photos and the recovered pieces of the original monument.

On September 10, 2014, the monument was rededicated at a ceremony attended by Mealy and Eric Adams.
