There are several monuments at the cemetery. The oldest and largest is made of pink Etowah marble. It was erected in 1937 and dedicated to "the memory of those who served their country". Another is a polished granite bench, dedicated to the memory of World War I veterans. A POW/MIA monument is the newest addition, facing the WWI bench.

Made in America: East across the water is Jungle Prada Park, reputed landing site of Panfilo De Narvaez. From that landing in 1528 began ‘the first European exploration of the North American Continent’ (if you don’t count the Vikings, apparently).

The 82nd Airborne Division is an active duty airborne infantry division of the United States Army. It specializes in parachute assault operations into denied areas. Based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the 82nd Airborne Division is the primary fighting arm of the XVIII Airborne Corps.

The monument is dedicated to all paratroopers and glidermen, living and deceased, who have served during peace or war in the Armed Forces of the United States. Naples (FL) sculptor Andrew McGowan cast and donated the bronze statue of the paratrooper, with the formal dedication made in 1983.

Made in America: Before your visit to Park of Palms, pick up something to go at Gwendolyn’s Café, 2400 1st St #101, 2 blocks to the east. Try the Cuban Sandwich, made famous in the area.

Although the City of Davie has never lost any firefighter or police officer in the line of duty, after the events of 9-11 they felt compelled to honor the efforts of the local fire and police forces. Titled ‘The Davie Protectors’, the bronze statues reflect the dedication of the local forces to the safety of their citizens.
