Memorial Day honors across Chicago Heights area
Veterans groups and auxiliaries prepare for services as membership trends show declines elsewhere but Chicago Heights maintains active participation. The American Legion Post 131 Auxiliary will sing the Star Spangled Banner at 10:30 a.m. at the Mound war memorial with Gene Glandon noting multiple posts and veterans groups taking part. A three gun salute and a bugler provided by Catholic War Veterans 1050 are planned, with poppy drives underway to support local veterans hospitals. Local ceremonies in Dolton Homewood and other towns also mark the holiday with parades, wreaths, and 21 gun salutes.
