Summary

The board recognized members of the military class of 2025 for the Vernon Hills honors military banner program; banners will be displayed from Memorial Day through Veterans Day at Hawthorne Parkway and Lakeview near Century Park.

The Village of Vernon Hills used the May 20 meeting to present the Class of 2025 for its Vernon Hills honors military banner program, a partnership with American Legion Vernon Hills Post 12 47. Assistant Village Manager Petrill reviewed the program (adopted 2022) and noted recipients will have boulevard banners showing name, image, rank and branch displayed from Memorial Day through Veterans Day at the Hawthorne Parkway/Lakeview intersection.

Commander Todd Brenahan and staff called several recipients by name (service branch noted) and asked family members to stand. Village leaders and the police chief offered remarks praising Sergeant/Officer Daniel P. "Dan" Mead for his years of service and his work as a school resource officer. The village will present the banners to recipients or surviving family members at the end of the display period.

The board expressed gratitude for veterans and invited community participation in Memorial Day ceremonies and related events.
