In 1998 a Veterans’ Memorial Committee was created and in 1999 the Lakeside Veterans Memorial was dedicated to permanently honor those from Libertyville who were killed in action or training, many of whom are buried at Lakeside dating back to 1864.
On the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend the Libertyville American Legion has been honoring Lakeside Veterans by placing a flag at their grave, and for the past twenty years they have been assisted by Libertyville area Scouts and other youth service groups.
