Springfield –-(ENEWSPF)–May 22, 2015. “On Monday, May 25, people across Illinois will observe Memorial Day – a time when we remember those who died while serving in the military and we honor their service and sacrifice,” said Erica Jeffries, Army veteran and Director, Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs. “Memorial Day is an important moment in our civic life when we reflect on the real and human costs of war. We thank all our veterans for their service and we at IDVA remain on duty, ready to help them. We encourage our veterans to contact us, or visit our Stand Up And Be Counted website, so we help them get the benefits they have earned through service.”
