Silver Star Banner Day at the Cook County Board meeting of June 14, 2011 was a great success. It was very gratifying to see the joy of the honorees, their families, and the other vets who came to witness the presentation. The Cook County Veterans Assistance Commission and the President’s administration planned a very dignified and memorable ceremony and reception. Thank you for making it possible.
Attached are the frame grab pictures from the banner presentation:
