<p align="center"><strong>VIETNAM      VETERANS MEMORIAL AT STONEY RUN COUNTY PARK </strong></p>
    <p align="left">Visitors      to Stoney Run County Park see the flags of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial as      they drive into the park.&nbsp; This      salute to veterans had its beginnings in 1973 when three large boulders were      put in place by Marine Company A, 6th  Engineer Battalion of Gary      in Stoney Run County Park.&nbsp; The      memorial began as one family’s effort to honor the memory of their son and      others like him.&nbsp; David M. Baum      was one of the 261 young people from Lake County and one of more than 58,000      from across the United States who gave their lives for our country while      serving in Vietnam.&nbsp; David’s      death brought cards and letters of sympathy to his parents and brother,      John, also a veteran during the Vietnam conflict.&nbsp;      Sometime later, distraught over the treatment afforded most of the      returning Vietnam Veterans, Mr. And Mrs. Henry Baum of Crown Point      established the David M. Baum Memorial Fund.&nbsp;      Community support provided additional funds, materials, and labor      leading to the dedication of the memorial.&nbsp; <img src="../../_images/stoney_run/Memorial Day small.JPG" width="216" height="289" hspace="30" align="right" /></p>
    <p align="left">For      a long time, however, plans to complete the memorial went unfulfilled.&nbsp;      The Vietnam War continued to be a painful, controversial issue, and      support for a tribute to its veterans waned.&nbsp;      Then early in 1982 several Vietnam Veterans, along with Lake County      Park and Recreation Department staff members, coordinated efforts with the      Vietnam Veterans Leadership program of Indiana to sponsor a Memorial Day      service and family picnic at the park. </p>
    <p align="left">Shortly      after that initial joint effort, the VVLP of Indiana welcomed the Vietnam      Veterans Memorial Committee as part of its organization.&nbsp;      Again, donations of funds, materials, and labor made Phase I of the      memorial beautification possible.&nbsp; Countless      hours of donated services from individuals and groups went into the memorial      development. </p>
    <p align="left">By      Memorial Day 1984, 8,000 face bricks and 80 yards of concrete had been laid,      forming a low wall topped with 460 feet of limestone and encircling the      memorial.&nbsp; Hundreds of Vietnam      Veterans stood in the rain at a very moving dedication service.&nbsp;      It was a new beginning.&nbsp; Phase      II added a new face to the memorial’s south side with the construction of      two wing walls.&nbsp; The other walls      were raised and 14,000 paving bricks were laid in place.&nbsp;      New landscaping was planted and the memorial was again ready for the      1986 Memorial Day service </p>
    <p align="left">Early      in 1989 it was decided that the memorial would not be complete without the      permanent inclusion of the 262 names of the Lake County servicemen who      sacrificed their lives during the Vietnam War so that project was begun.&nbsp;      A list of names was compiled by Lake Central High School students under the      direction of teacher Tom Clark.&nbsp; His classes have been instrumental in      many similar projects for many years.&nbsp; On August 28, 1989, the Lake County Commissioners signed a      proclamation declaring the memorial at Stoney Run County Park the official      Lake County Vietnam Veterans Memorial.&nbsp; </p>
    <p align="left">Phase      III was the addition of the names in granite and the replacement of the      single flagpole with three new flagpoles.&nbsp;      This phase took two years to complete with the official dedication      taking place on May 4, 1991.&nbsp; As      noted at the memorial, the black granite plaques listing the names of those      who died during the conflict, not only quantifies, but personalizes, Lake      County’s sacrifice for the Price of Freedom. </p>
    <p align="left">As      1999 approached, the memorial walkways and walls were in need of repair and      the committee thought it was time to show unity and appreciation for all      veterans.&nbsp; A grant was secured      through the Lake County Parks from the state of Indiana to redesign the      walkways.&nbsp; Construction began      again and on Veterans Day, 1999, the VVMC fulfilled another goal as they      dedicated a second monument </p>
    <p align="left"><strong>DEDICATED      TO ALL WHO HAVE SERVED – THANK YOU VETERANS. </strong></p>
    <p align="left">The      VVMC salutes the many municipalities, organizations, veterans, businesses,      labor organizations, Tom Clark and the students of Lake Central High School,      and individuals who have contributed toward the      expansion and beautification of the memorial over the years.&nbsp;      Your overwhelming response has helped broaden the foundation of a      fitting tribute to 262 young men from Lake County, who along with 58,000      nation-wide, gave their lives for our country, and for those of us who      remain. The efforts of all who have dedicated their time and energy will      continue until the memorial is complete.&nbsp;      All proceeds go to the programming and completion of the monument. </p>
    <p align="left">The      Vietnam Veterans Memorial Committee invites everyone to visit the memorial      throughout the year but especially extends an invitation for on Memorial Day      and on the Saturday prior to Veterans Day.&nbsp; </p>
    <p align="left">Stoney      Run County Park is located between Crown Point and Hebron, just north of      route 231.&nbsp; From I-65 take route      231 for about 4.5 miles to 145th Avenue then left, past the      Korean War Memorial, to the park.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
