Veterans Memorial and Plaza at Central Park in Grinnell

The Veterans Memorial and Plaza at Central Park in Grinnell was dedicated on July 4th. With that in mind I spoke with Tom Lacina who headed up a group of folks that made an effort to put a memorial and plaza in the park. Many designs were considered and thrown out until the group finally setteled on the one we have today. It's a beautiful structure that you can actually walk into. And, as you will see from the video shortcast the pictures of the memorial lit up at night are absolutely beautiful. In the podast I speak with Tom about where the idea for the memorial came from, some of the designs what were considered, why they chose that design and how the project was funded. If you haven't had a chance to see the memorial yet make plans to check it out.
