Strasburg, IL -(Effingham Radio)- In 2002 a committee was formed in the Village of Strasburg to raise funds for a memorial to honor the many veterans that have lived or are living in our community. This memorial was dedicated on July 4, 2005.
The Strasburg Veterans’ Memorial Committee is asking the community’s help in adding names to those listed on the memorial. All individuals who served in the military (completed basic training) and who either attended Strasburg Schools, or who had a Strasburg address are eligible to have their name placed on the memorial.
When contacting the committee with a name, the committee needs to know what year(s) that individual served and/or the name of the war/conflict. If anyone has any names that should be added, please contact Linda Oakley, lindao.1950@gmail.com or send to P O Box 385, Strasburg IL 62465.
