Veterans - we want you
While our veterans are still on our minds, let's remember that it is the personal stories of our veterans that make history come to life.  We're working with the Library of Congress to preserve these stories.  If you've served in the military during any war - Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam - please contact Joe Popowitch to set up an interview.  Call 630/887-8760 ext. 240 or email joep@ippl.info.
