Des Plaines American Legion Post 36 is inviting Korean and American media to a luncheon at its building on Oct. 12 to outline a plan to bring a replica of Washington, D.C. s Korean War Memorial to Lake Park in Des Plaines from June 23 to 25 next year.
When a member of his American Lgion Post 36 in Des Plaines took his own life in November, post Cmdr. Tom Strossner made it his new mission to make himself and others as well prepared as possible to help those in such pain.
