DescriptionPhotographs depict the dedication of a park in Yalesville in memory of Lieutenant Stanley Budleski. A parade includes girls scouts, boy scouts, policemen on motorcycles, what appears to be a high school band, and men in military uniforms. Most units carry American flags and other flags. Some photographs depict the dedication ceremony with a speaker on a platform with a microphone and a plaque that reads "Honor Roll." Other photographs depict spectators. In one photograph, the Budleski family poses with a wreath of flowers and a sign that reads "LIEUTENANT / BUDLESKI / PARK".
