HONORING OUR VETERANS

MEMORIAL DAY 2018

The Village of Orland Park’s Veterans Commission hosted its annual Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday, May 28. Due to extreme heat, the traditionally outdoor ceremony was moved indoors. The community remembered those who have died serving our country and recognized the veterans and their families whose names have been added to the village’s memorial. The names of 15 veterans have been added to Orland Park’s granite wall since the village’s Veterans’ Day Ceremony.

A member of Daisy Troop 65111 presents a small token of appreciation to one of the veterans in attendance who also happened to be one of two centenarians at the ceremony.

The Pledge of Allegiance was led by the 20 plus members of Orland Park Daisy Girl Scout Troop 65111.

Veterans and families of veterans were asked to stand and be recognized at this year’s Memorial Day ceremony.

Congressman Dan Lipinski spoke at the village’s ceremony.
