Soldier memorial put on hold in Gurnee
January 26, 2010 (GURNEE, Ill.) The Gurnee Village Board voted Monday night to uphold a veto by the town's mayor that put a stop to Kirk Morris' project.
Morris hoped to build the memorial on Old Grand Road in honor of his son who was killed in Iraq. But the project ran into financial issues.
