North Shore honors fallen soldiers on Memorial Day
Patriotism took to the streets in Wilmette and Winnetka on Monday morning.
The towns observed Memorial Day with their annual parades that led to their respective ceremonies — Wilmette’s on the Village Hall Green and Winnetka’s in Village Green Park.
Kenilworth held a similar event — a parade followed by a ceremony — but a week earlier on Sunday, May 19. Glencoe welcomed residents to Veterans Memorial Park on Memorial Day for a ceremony with guest speakers and the presentation of a memorial wreath.
Up in Highland Park, the City partnered with American Legion Post No. 145, Jewish War Veterans Post No. 29 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 4737 for a solemn observance on Monday at Highland Park High School.
