On Broadway in Massapequa, a pleasant little park sits near Ohio and Franklin Avenues. There's not much space there; just enough room for some flags, several stone monuments, a stretch of grass and a gazebo.
It's a place that most residents drive past every day, but if you asked the average person on the street what it's name was, you might be hard-pressed to find someone who knew.
It's Marine Corporal Albert F. Klestinec, Jr. parklet. Klestinec, born and raised in Massapequa, was killed in the line of duty at the age of 20 on July 10, 1966, while serving in Vietnam. He served as an anti-tank specialist and, by all accounts, was regarded highly by his peers.
The Massapequa Chamber of Commerce re-dedicated the Klestinec parklet on April 16, 2011 with a ceremony attended by veteran's and community groups, and Scouts. The park has several memorial monuments including one dedicated to those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001.
The cache is magnetic and not on the monuments or gazebo. Please be stealthy, but if asked, be honest about what you're doing.
