A Wreath For The President

A memorial wreath on the grave of President Chester A. Arthur in the Albany Rural Cemetery.  The wreath-laying ceremony is held every year on his birthday.  Considering how much time I spend exploring and researching the Cemetery, I'm embarrassed to admit this is the very first time that I have attended the ceremony.  I won't miss it next year.

The Wallenberg Memorial

Monument honoring Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who saved the lives of thousands of Jews during World War II and died under still mysterious circumstances while in Soviet custody. The monument stands in a small park off Clinton Avenue between Broadway and North Pearl Street, just south of the Leo O'Brien Federal Building.
