State Senator Neil Anderson is inviting residents to participate in a tribute to veterans by submitting photos and stories of their loved ones who have served in the military. These submissions will be part of a display at the Illinois Capitol from November 11 to November 25, coinciding with Veterans Day.
“The Veterans Day display at the Illinois Capitol is a special way to honor the brave men and women who served our country,” said Sen. Anderson. “We should always remember their sacrifices and the freedoms they protected, keeping their stories alive.”
Participants are encouraged to send a photo and a written story, not exceeding 250 words, including details such as the veteran's name, military branch, and conflict served. While military photos are preferred, they are not mandatory.
Submissions should be emailed to veteransday@sgop.ilga.gov by November 8, 2024. Alternatively, they can be mailed to Veterans Day Wall, 110 D Statehouse, Springfield, IL 62706. For further inquiries, individuals can contact (217) 782-1154.
