World War Two: Haverstraw is a community history and memorial website dedicated to remembering North Rockland residents who served and died during the Second World War. Its central focus is the Roll of Honor, first erected by local citizens in 1943 near the main entrance of Haverstraw High School to recognize those serving in the war. The site preserves the stories behind this tribute and records the names and service details of local people who were killed in action, lost at sea, missing, or who died in service across the Army, Navy, Marines, and Merchant Marine.

It also recalls the community effort behind the original memorial: Jack Denoyelles donated more than 9,000 bricks, local lumber yards contributed materials, and Lib Mulligan hand-lettered the names into the mid-1950s. The Roll of Honor was dismantled in the 1970s after deteriorating, and the community later established a memorial and plaque at Clock Park
