“This Veterans Day, we salute the courageous men and women who have bravely served our country. Every day, people risk their lives to protect the freedoms that we as Americans hold dear. This holiday, let us make a concerted effort to applaud and thank our Illinois veterans, as well as, our veterans nationwide. Their service and sacrifice have sustained us as a strong and free democracy.”
