In fact, Veterans Day is intended to thank living veterans for their service, to acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are appreciated and to underscore the fact that all those who served – not only those who died – have sacrificed and done their duty.
The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 10:45 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial site located at the Hoffman Estates Police Department building, 411 W. Higgins Road.
For more information, call Assistant Chief Greg Poulos at 847-781-2804.
