Posted: 3:30 pm EST November 21, 2009Updated: 2:23 pm EST November 22, 2009

In Westmont on Saturday, local veterans and residents got together to unveil a memorial and it's all thanks to one man.

Martin Malek created a memorial in his back yard to honor veterans across the state.

While Malek never served in the military, he thought this would be a good dedication to his father who fought in World War II.

The local Marine Corps, Sen. John Wozniak and Rep. Bryan Barbin did the honors of presenting the memorial to the community.
