Future Plans

The following is our plan for the layout, elements, aspects and details of our design. This memorial is intended as a place of reflection, celebration, education, community and history. Among the granite markers and statues, this memorial will also include an 8-foot statue of “Flying Doves” to symbolize the desired peace between the United States and other countries. We will offer space for individual veteran’s names which will be available through family and friend donations.

It is important to remember what an important role Lake County has played throughout times of war, the veterans who have served our country, those who perished and those who are still with us. Above all, this memorial is intended to honor those veterans and the families who sacrificed alongside of them, as well as the communities who continue to thrive with strength and dignity because of this dedication.

The American Flag with a 35-foot flagpole stands tall overlooking the monument with adequate space for wreath laying ceremonies.
