Veterans Day in Rockford
Today we pay tribute to those who have served, and the Rockford area has a fantastic location to do so.
LZ Peace Memorial at Midway Village Museum is located at 6799 Guilford Rd in Rockford.
The LZ Peace Memorial is a fantastic place to go honor those from Winnebago County that made the ultimate sacrifice. The memorial stands as a testimony to honor those that served our country in times of war and peace.
Four Vietman Veterans headed of the building of this memorial that took over 20 years to finish.
- Tony Bove
- Paul Cassioppi
- Tony Circelli
- Nick Parnello
There are names of 75 Veterans on the wall reminding us of their courage and sacrifice.
Here is a video tribute from LZ Peace Memorial back in 2013.
