Joey Helleny, the Vice President of HerrinFesta It

Joey Helleny, the Vice President of HerrinFesta Italiana, presented a donation to Chuck Parola, a Herrin Veteran, in support of the Doughboy Memorial. HerrinFesta deeply appreciates the commitment and sacrifice of all veterans. The Doughboy Memorial Service is held every year on Memorial Day.

Did you know?

The Doughboy was acquired through a project spearheaded by members of various veteran groups. It was initially dedicated in Herrin on September 6, 1927, in the center of the intersection of Park Avenue and Monroe Streets, in Herrin's downtown area, as shown in the old postcard view at right.

Due to traffic considerations, the Doughboy and its tall impressive base were moved in 1956 by a house-moving contractor from a nearby town to a temporary location next to the Herrin American Legion post on East Madison Street. They were then moved by the same contractor in September 1964 to Herrin City Park, where the monument was rededicated on July 4, 1967. It stood in the center of a shallow circular pool surrounded by a walk. Along the walk and next to the raised stone sides of the pool were numerous plaques honoring the veterans of World War I and subsequent conflicts, with indications of the wars during which they served.

In October 2002, the statue's most recent move to its current location across from City Hall occurred.
