Lynne’s Family Has Gone To Mass At The Veteran’s Section Of The Cemetery For Over 40 Years. When I joined The Family I Started Going Too. We Visit As Many Veteran’s Graves As We Can. Memorial Day Is A Day For Remembering Those Who Sacrificed For Us.

This Year Is Special For Many Reasons. We Hope & Pray That All Of Our Friends, Relatives And Extended Family Return Safely.

Lynne’s Dad, A Veteran of 2 Wars. We Are So Proud Of Him & Miss Him Especially On Memorial Day.

These Guys Were All Nervous Before They Got Started. Once The Command For Attention Was Barked Out, Instinct Took Over.

Many Different Wars Were Represented. Let’s Hope We have Less Wars In The Future. Peace Now!

PARADE REST!

So Many Old Veterans, So Proud Of Their Medals.

Our Mayor, Dan McLaughlin, Makes A Short Speech And Announces This Years New Members Added To Yhe Orland Park Veterans Memorial.

I Told Lynne That We Were Shooting The Orland Park Memorial Ceremony. She Came To Shoot. Hearing Her Dad’s Name Announced Was Special. Then My Dad’s Name. Kind Of Like They Are Home With Us.

Everyone Pointed To Their Veteran’s Name, So We Did Too. Thinking About My Dad, A WWII Vet.

The Cub Scouts Salute!

Great Job!
