You Are Our Hero. You Are Remembered.
Proudly serving Veterans since 1991.
The Village of Orland Park Veterans’ Commission was created in 1991. One of the commission’s first tasks was the creation of a suitable veterans’ memorial for the Orland Park community.
In 1993, the board continued the community’s quest of a memorial and appointed the project team of the Veterans’ Commission to oversee its creation.
Designed by world renowned sculptor Virginio Ferrari, Orland Park’s memorial – “Ara Pace’, Place of Peace” – was dedicated on November 11, 1995. Describing his intent, Ferrari said, “What I wish to express with this sculpture is the endless potential of creative forces continued within the simplicity of the circular form”.
