Less than one month after the Grand Haven City Council gave them the go-ahead to build a new monument in Central Park, the Fallen Heroes Memorial Committee is already receiving donations for the project.

The committee kicked off the fundraising program by receiving a $5,000 contribution from Squadron 28 of the Sons of the American Legion. In addition to $4,000 already received from individual contributions for the project, will start the campaign to raise an estimated $130,000 required for the memorial monument.
The monument will honor fallen soldiers from the Tri-Cities area who served in world conflicts since World War II. The monument will be located near the corner of Fifth Street and Washington Avenue at the park.
