HONOR

Lincolnwood Memorial Day Parade and FestivitiesMonday, May 30, 2015

Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and

Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service.

Please help Lincolnwood and American Legion Post #1226 celebrate Memorial Day. The parade kicks off at the corner of Cicero and Pratt Avenues at approximately 10:20am, traveling east on Pratt Avenue, turning north on Keeler Avenue,

ending in Proesel Park at Madeline’s Garden. The ceremony will take place in Madeline’s Garden at approximately 11am. All Memorial Day activities are free of charge.
