The Arredondo Family Foundation turned Adams Park in Roslindale into a commemoration of fallen American service members, including putting flags in front of the memorial to Americans who died in the Korean and Vietnam wars.
In the center of the park, they put a metal structure with paper and markers for people to leave their own thoughts:
The park is particularly appropriate for a Memorial Day commemoration, because it's named for Irving W. Adams, a Roslindale resident who was the first Massachusetts serviceman to die in World War I, in 1918 at Raimbeaucourt, France.
