Today, the Illinois House held a special ceremony in recognition of Memorial Day to honor our nation’s fallen heroes. The ceremony includes the presentation of colors, the laying of a wreath at the front of the House Chambers, a reading of the Gettysburg Address, and the House honors the Illinois servicemembers who have lost their lives in the line of duty over the last year by reading their names on the floor.
May we all honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and their service to our great nation.
