More About Honor the fallen during Memorial Day ceremony at Community Veterans Memorial Park

A ceremony honoring the fallen men and women of our nation’s armed forces will be held Monday, May 27 at the Edward P. Robinson Community Veterans Memorial Park.

Munster VFW Post 2697 and American Legion Post 16 will host the 11:30 a.m. Memorial Day ceremony at the park, 9710 Calumet Ave., Munster. The event will feature a traditional 21-gun salute with a ceremonial cannon beginning at noon, weather permitting.

The 6.5-acre park commemorates the sacrifices and achievements of veterans of major military conflicts that shaped the 20th Century. More than 30 years ago, Donald S. Powers shared his vision to build the memorial with Edward P. Robinson. They formed a committee, consisting of mostly of veterans, that brought the vision to reality.

The park is located about 2.5 miles south of Interstate 80/94 on the west side of Calumet Avenue, just north of Sheffield Avenue. Parking is free. To learn more, visit Click for Details
