This weekend, we commemorate and honor our servicemen and women that made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Please take some time this weekend to pause and reflect on the sacrifice of those who fell while fighting for our freedom. Here in the Chicago suburbs, we are fortunate to have Cantigny Park with a museum dedicated to the 1st Infantry Division -- the division my own father served in. It is a wonderful place to commemorate service and does have some events this weekend.
