Veteran Memorial Planned for Lake County's CLC-- Part 1
From the Dec. 11, 2014, Lake County (Il.) Suburban Life "$5,000 donation puts CLC closer to veteran memorial completion" by Stephanie Kohl.
A recent $5,000 donation from the Military Order of the World Wars has put the College of Lake County (CLC) closer to completion of its Veterans Memorial.
The effort for a memorial began back in 2006 with Wayne Maczko, a stationary engineer at the Grayslake campus of the college and U.S. Army veteran. He was inspired by a photo from Arlington National Cemetery of a man in a squatting position about to place a flag in front of a marker.
The Veterans Memorial is on the west side of campus, Willow Lake veterans Memorial Park is just missing its soldier. Roughly $60,000 needs to be raised to complete the bronze statue which will be about 1 1/3 the size of a person.
