The ceremony was hosted by the Villa Park VFW Post 2801 to honor those who have served in the U.S. Military and to remember their sacrifices and the servicemen and women who have lost their lives.

Post Commander James “Jim” Blankshain (JB) welcomed the audience, and Villa Park Village President Kevin Patrick and City of Oakbrook Terrace Mayor Paul Esposito shared remarks regarding the significance of the day and thanked those in attendance for coming to the event.
