Community Veterans Memorial is a 6.5 acre park featuring bronze and granite sculptures, and life-size monuments to depict the major military conflicts that shaped the 20th Century.
The memorial imparts a reflective and provocative vision for peace. From the trenches of World War I through the Pacific beaches and European battles of World War II, the extreme weather and combat conditions of Korea, the rugged brutal fire fights of Vietnam, and the sandy sea of Desert Storm, the memorial pays the highest tribute to all veterans.
A commemorative brick pathway leads visitors on their journey through history. Individuals and groups are invited for self-guided tours in which several stations provide pre-recorded information about the defining wars of the 20th Century. Guided tours are also available.
Thank you for visiting the website and if you haven’t already, visit the memorial to remember and pay tribute to those whose lives shaped our world today.
Help keep the Memorial beautiful – donate now! Your donation not only helps to support the beautification and upkeep of the Memorial and surrounding grounds, but also demonstrates your commitment to the Memorial’s mission; to remember, to educate and to challenge. Donations can be made in honor or memory of a veteran or loved one and, if requested, will be acknowledged with a card to the recipient of your gift. Your support to help with this ongoing endeavor is greatly appreciated! Donations are 100% tax deductible.

Twice a year, members of VFW Post 2697 in Munster, volunteer their time to place the memorial bricks in the park. They are a wonderful group of men and their time and dedication is greatly appreciated!
