Skip Justice recently stopped in at the City Hall in Lake Forest to inquire about the monument. The unveiling is planned for September 24, 2023 at 1:00 p.m., at the Veterans' Park on the Southeast corner of Deerpath and Green Bay.
Thanks, Skip!
3-3-23 UPDATE from, Jim Kahle
Status of monument: Due to a crane malfunction, the stone slab for the monument fell and shattered. This caused the delay from Memorial Day. A new slab will be cut in late March or April and then shipped to Holland, Michigan, for polishing and preparation. The dropped stone had NO impact on the finances of the monument since the Legion does not own the monument until it is installed in Lake Forest. A new date for unveiling will be announced once the time the monument will be finished is known.
