All community members are invited to join in honoring and remembering the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the nation.

Attendees and nearby residents are reminded that the ceremony will include a cannon fire and a controlled gun salute. Please be advised that these commemorative activities may produce loud noises.

In the event of severe weather, the ceremony will be moved indoors to Lombard Village Hall, 255 E. Wilson Ave.
