Today, we recognize Veterans Day in America. Words cannot express our gratitude for the brave men and women who have served in our armed forces. Thank you to our veterans who have stood for liberty, justice, and freedom in our world in the face of tyranny and terror. We will continue to fight for you in the General Assembly and support you in our districts and communities. Be sure to thank a veteran today and see how you can help veterans in Kankakee, Cook, Will, and Grundy Counties today and all year!

“True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.” – Arthur Ashe
