The Rainbow division honors their own on Veterans day. These Soldiers serve
out of Mc Arthur airport as part of the Airborne unit.
The CAmp Mills monument was dedicated on October 12th, 1941. The Monument was
proposed by local Rainbow Veterans to the National Oganization. The National Organization supported the plan and
the monument proposal was adopted and paid for by Rainbow Division Veterans Nationally.1
The dedication parade started at the 4th Regiment Armory in Hempstead and proceeded
up Clinton Road to the Garden City staging area of the 1917 Rainbow Division.1
