In 1917–1918, men from Oyster Bay who gave their lives in service in World War I included Nicolas Abbati, Frank Boday, Fred H. Cassell, Luke Kiloran, and Quentin Roosevelt. A later tribute urged that they not be forgotten. Plans to place this plaque and memorial trees on the site were interrupted by the death of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in January 1919. The cornerstone below came from the Quentin Roosevelt Post No. 4 American Legion Hall, dedicated by Quentin Roosevelt II, son of Medal of Honor winner Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr.
