Veterans Day in the town of Cleveland was doubly meaningful as not only veterans were celebrated, but also seeing the dream for a veteran park becoming a reality as the official groundbreaking and name of The Danny Gabriel Veteran Memorial Park and Trail was held. The park is located at 201 School Street, Cleveland, directly adjacent to the West Rowan Public Library and West Rowan Elementary School, and on the same street as EMS and fire department. Cleveland Mayor Pat Phifer opened the ceremony with a welcome to those in attendance and a word of thanks to the veterans who were there, telling them he didn’t know how to thank them enough and that because of what they have done, he gets to be him.
