Fred's Corner

Dear Neighbor,

 

As Military Appreciation Month comes to a close, I want to take this opportunity to thank all those brave men and women who have served our country, and especially recognize those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

 

To commemorate Memorial Day, I was very grateful to have visited the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall at Alexian Field where I was able to listen to Illinois Veterans Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth speak.   

 

I also had the good fortune of attending the Memorial Day ceremony in Streamwood, where I had the opportunity to speak with Capt. Kathryn Serbin, RN.  Capt. Serbin spoke about the 100th anniversary of the Navy Nurse Corps and the mobilization of navy nurses.  This was a very moving experience for me.  I would like to congratulate not only the Navy Nurse Corps on this milestone, but all of the brave men and women who have risked so much to protect our freedom and way of life.

 

To ensure that I represent the needs and concerns of our community’s veterans, I have established a Veteran’s Issues Advisory Committee.  By discussing veteran issues with local residents, I hope to better serve our state’s veterans and make sure they are able to access the benefits and services they deserve. 

 

If you are interested in joining my Veterans’ Affairs Advisory Committee or if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me anytime at 630.372.3340.

 

Sincerely,

 

Fred
