Park Forest, IL-(ENEWSPF)- The Park Forest Veterans Commission hosts a socially distanced Veterans Day Program at 11 a.m. in the parking lot of Park Forest’s Freedom Hall on Saturday, Nov. 7. The 144th Army Band’s marching band ensemble will perform live at the outdoor event which is free to attend.

The Veterans Day celebration is sponsored by the Park Forest Veterans Commission in conjunction with the Veterans Closet and Resource Center.

The Veterans Closet and Resource Center accepts household items, furniture, etc., in good condition. It is located at 351 Founders Way in Park Forest and open from 1:00 – 3:00 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
