Memorial Day weekend began the annual wall of remembrance display at the Illinois State Capitol. A large screen will display the names and stories of Illinois’ service men and women killed in the line of duty. Illinois Army National Guard Colonel Joseph Schweiker says the wall offers a moment to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Visitors to the wall can leave a photo or note behind honoring another vet or a note of thanks to members of the armed service.
The wall will be up through July 4th.
