A Veteran’s Memorial Park in Taylorville is really starting to take off. The work has begun with the concrete being laid down. Dr. Ron Mizer who is on the Veteran’s Park Committee, says that the project started in 2018, but has really taken off now that things are slowly getting back to normal. 

One big thing that will be coming to the Veteran’s Park will be the Honor Wall which you can add a name to, to memorialize their time and their service.

Dr. Mizer says they’ve gotten a lot of calls already for the Honor Wall. They are also starting to plan for a great event on Veteran’s Day. Dr. Mizer is also looking for an Eagle Scout for a project. 

Dr. Mizer is also excited about what the State of Illinois is doing for The Veteran’s Committee.
