During the fall Veto Session, members of the Illinois Senate Republican Caucus once again hosted their annual Veterans Day Wall of Honor display at the Capitol, giving Illinoisans a way to pay tribute to the men and women who bravely served our nation.

From October 28 to November 13, visitors to the Capitol stopped to view the memorial, which featured a large electronic display of veterans and their stories, along with a wall where guests could write personal messages of thanks. Throughout the display, families, students, veterans, and Capitol visitors paused to read the tributes and add their own notes of appreciation.

The Wall of Honor showcased photos and short narratives from every branch of the military and from conflicts spanning World War II to the Global War on Terrorism, as well as peacetime service. The display served as a powerful reminder of the sacrifice, courage, and commitment of those who wore the uniform.
