Illinois State House District 65 issued the following announcement on Nov. 11
Today we celebrate and honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
Most people don’t know that the entire month of November is also designated as National Veterans and Military Families month. Military families, too, have a special duty to family and country. The wives and husbands and children of our military take care of the home front while their service person is deployed.
We need to continue to give thanks, recognition and support to our veterans and military families year round - but especially on Veterans Day and during National Veterans and Military Families Month.
