The Charles A. Conklin Post #28, Grand Haven, Department of Michigan - was named in honor of the first serviceman from Grand Haven to make the supreme sacrifice in World War I. He served with the Rainbow Division and died May 7, 1918 in France. The Charter was issued at National Headquarters in Indianapolis and is dated August 1, 1920. Meetings were first held in the Armory, the basement of the library, the rooms over the Kroger store, and in 1936 in the Oakes Building. The present site at 700 S. Harbor was purchased in 1937. By the spring of 1938, meetings were held in this new structure. More about Charles A. Conklin's Service

Contributions Sought for WWII Monument

Members of the V.F.W. and American Legion are working together to honor North Ottawa County veterans of World War II. A proposed monument would be constructed in Central Park in Grand Haven, and include two plaques listing the honor roll of citizens of North Ottawa County who lost their lives in World War II. The monument, which is projected to cost $200,000, is set to be completed by Memorial Day 2009. Anyone wanting to contribute to the memorial should contact the American Legion in Grand Haven at 842-5310 or mail their contribution to the American Legion Post 28, 700 South Harbor Ave., Grand Haven, MI 49417.
