Girl Scouts Commemorate Memorial Day Across Southern Illinois

Girl Scouts all over Southern Illinois joined their communities to commemorate Memorial Day 2018. Activities included placing flags on veterans' burial sites, marching in parades, completing community service projects and more.  




Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois CEO Loretta Graham shared this statement:
On this Memorial Day as we commemorate the lives of all brave service members who died while serving in our country's armed forces, let us remember how much we owe them, how much they have given us, and how much we can never fully repay. And as individuals, as a community, and as a nation, we say to each and every service member who has passed, we love you and honor you for your service. You fought with strength and courage for this country and for its safety and its ideals. The highest merit is due to the soldiers who have died so that we may have the freedom to live not just today, but everyday here in America.

Have a Grateful Memorial Day!!

Loretta Graham, CEO
