What's the plan for the memorial? And are there specific things that need to be donated?
ReplyDeleteKudo's to Alderman O'Connor for sponsoring this but it's so said the VA or government isn't helping.
ReplyDeleteOff Topic but I have a question I hope some one can answer. When I looked at the back of my cook county property tax check it was marked with a bank from Indianapolis, Indiana. I was wondering why they would not use a bank in Cook County or at least in Illinois????
ReplyDelete@10:08 Interesting question. I just sent Cook County Commissioner Peter Silvestri an email with your question...
ReplyDeleteDear 11:37
ReplyDeleteThe VA is far, far busier tending to the medical care of our veterans.
The government is far, far busier tending to our wars.
Is it really asking too much for a local group of volunteers to tend this little green space.
So what is the long term plan for maintaining the space?
