In 2002, a committee was formed in the Village of Strasburg to raise funds for a memorial to honor the many veterans that have lived or are living in the community. The memorial was dedicated on July 4, 2005.

The Strasburg Veterans Memorial Committee is asking the community's help in adding names to those listed on the memorial. All individuals who served in the military (completed basic training) and who either attended Strasburg schools, or who had a Strasburg address, are eligible to have their name placed on the memorial.

When contacting the committee with a name, the committe needs to know what year that individual served and, if they served during a war or conflict, what war or conflict that was.

To add a name, contact Linda Oakley at lindao.1950@gmail.com or mail the information to PO Box 385, Strasburg, IL 62465.
