Approved by Congress beginning in 1947\, Gold Star Lapel Pins and the Next of Kin Lapel Pins are presented to families not as an award\, but as symbols of honor worn by family members in remembrance of their fallen loved ones and their ultimate sacrifice. \nThe Wreath Laying Ceremony at 11am will also be livestreamed at Chicago.gov/live. \nMore information at about this event  can be found here: https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/dca/supp_info/memorial_day_parade.html
