     The Memorial Fund Raising started on Memorial Day of 2007, and dedication of the completed Memorial was on Labor Day of 2008.  In those 15 months we raised over $75,000, a tribute to a city with a population of 4,000 people.

 

 

Note: The Memorial project was a combined effort of the New Holstein American Legion Post #124 and the New Holstein Lion's Club.  Should you get a chance to visit our city, the Memorial is located in Kiwanis Park, at the intersection of Van Buren St. and Hickory Lane.
