Rep. Ugaste attended a ceremony commemorating National POW/MIA Recognition Day last Friday at the Kane County Veterans Memorial in Geneva. The event aimed to honor service members who are still missing and unaccounted for from past conflicts and wars.

"Thank you to everyone who attended, including members of American Legion Posts 75 and 342 and Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 693," Rep. Ugaste stated.

Bill and Traci Wood organized the ceremony, which highlighted the plight of over 81,000 missing service members. "Thanks to Bill and Traci Wood for the invitation to this ceremony," Rep. Ugaste said. He also noted that Bill and Traci’s uncles, Air Force Maj. Ronald Mayercik and Thomas Pilkington of the U.S. Navy, remain missing in action from the Vietnam War.
