Unknown WWII Veterans

Veterans Park District residents are familiar with the 15 portraits of World War II Veterans decorating the walls of Bulger Park for nearly 60 years. The portraits of these war heroes will now be placed on a Wall of Honor in the new Bulger Park facility. We are in the process of reframing all the portraits and need your help in identifying the five veterans pictured below. If you have any information on these veterans, please contact Donna Peluso at (708) 343-5270.
