Thanks to all who got behind exhibit

To all those who helped to bring the Cost of Freedom Tribute to Schaumburg's Alexian Field this past Memorial Day Weekend, we want to say "Thank You."

The villages of Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates and Alexian Field, we are so ever grateful. To Kay Wojcik, Pete Justen and Geri Czech we couldn't have done this without your fund raising efforts. Fran, Vickie, Jennifer and Joanmarie, your guidance was so appreciated.

To all our media connections, thanks for getting this valuable tribute out to the people.

From our local high schools -- Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg and Conant, all your hard work and efforts showed us to have faith in our youth, you were there and proud.

And finally, to everyone who came, thank you for sharing your time and stories with us. Memorial Day is a day to honor our "Fallen Heroes," we will never forget you.
