By now many of you have seen pictures of the ILSSAR 2017 Annual Awards dinner as well as the Youth and Community Awards luncheon.  If you haven't, pictures of the event are available on our web page or can be accessed via the ILSSAR Facebook page.  There are too many awards to name in a single blog post but to name just a few:

• Gordon J. Bidner of General James Bartholomew Chapter (Chapter of the Year)
• Jon Fixmer of Fox Valley Chapter (Color Guardsmen of the Year)
• Garry Grugan for Man of the Year
• Mike Campagnolo (Patriot Medal)
• Don Hyland (Patriot Medal)
• Gary List (Patriot Medal)

You can read though the entire list of awards here.  It should be noted that the evening would not have been possible without the hard work and determination of Wendy and Franz Herder.
