Tinley Park, Illinois World War I monument

Last Sunday I ran a 5K race in Tinley Park, Illinois where I came across, next to a baseball field, this World War I monument.

The marker reads, "In remembrance of those from this community who served in the World War, 1917-1918, so that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from this earth. Erected 1940 by the American Legion Post 615, Tinley Park, Ill."
