Heroes walk among us every day. Northwest Community Healthcare (NCH) is honoring and remembering local veterans and their loved ones with a special celebration and flag-raising ceremony.

The "To Honor and Remember" Ceremony will be held at 2:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10, at the main entrance of the hospital, 800 W. Central Road, Arlington Heights.

NCH President Michael Hartke will host the program, and the NCH Choir will perform musical selections. Jim Petrusek, Arlington Heights, U.S. Navy veteran and NCH engineer, and Adrian Raygoza, Melrose Park, U.S. Army and National Guard veteran and NCH Pancreatic Center practice manager, will provide remarks.

Following the flag-raising ceremony, attendees are invited to enjoy refreshments and thank a veteran!
