Progress is being made for the new war memorial that will be located at the Lawnridge Cemetery in Rochelle.
The Rotary Club in Rochelle has announced that they plan to donate $7,000 for the project. The estimated cost of the memorial is around $15,000.
The majority of the $7,000 from the Rotary Club came from their NFL pool run by Sam Graber of Rochelle.
There will be 55 hundred bricks for the memorial.
There will be also flags for each of the branch of service representing veterans in Rochelle.
The goal is to have the project done by Memorial Day. Veterans Day in November is another option for the ceremony.
