Still Unrecognized\, reflect with “America’s Forgotten” our KOREAN WAR Veteran (KWV) heroes at our annual Armistice Day salute …and that Freedom is never Free\, it comes at a high price. Lest we choose to fail\, they will never be forgotten – but Forever Revered. \n\nPlease help disseminate their plight for recognition and final resolve widely. Thank you \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us on Saturday\, July 27th \, 2024\, beginning 10:45am in Chicago’s Kennedy Park.\n \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Chicago Memorial Day Parade 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Memorial day parade is on\, Saturday\, May 27\, 2023 and starts at\n12 noon on Wacker Drive between Dearborn and State St.. \nThe City of Chicago and the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) are honored to announce the Grand Marshal for Chicago’s Memorial Day Parade and Wreath Laying Ceremony on Saturday\, May 27. The Wreath Laying Ceremony will begin at 11am at Daley Plaza (50 W. Washington St). The Parade will step off at noon and proceed south on State Street from Lake Street to Van Buren Street. Major General Rodney Boyd\, Assistant Adjutant General – Army of the Illinois National Guard and Commander of the Illinois Army National Guard\, will serve as the parade’s Grand Marshal. Originally from Chicago’s South Side\, Major General Boyd is the highest-ranking African American Officer in Illinois National Guard’s 300 year history. \nDuring the Wreath Laying Ceremony and Parade\, the City of Chicago honors fallen heroes and Gold Star family members who have lost a loved one in the United States Armed Forces to combat operations or while on active duty. 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 Illinois National Guard is celebrating their 300-year anniversary by commemorating significant dates in its history with communities across the state that share that history. Founded on May 9\, 1723\, the Illinois National Guard has and continues to draw its strength from the community. The National Guard is the oldest component of the U.S. military and the only military component with both state and federal missions. \nThe Wreath Laying Ceremony at 11am will also be livestreamed at Chicago.gov/live. \nMore information can be found at: https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/dca/supp_info/memorial_day_parade.html \n \n
