Colonel Shawn Strahle, Commander of the Illinois Air National Guard's 183d Wing, served as keynote speaker at the Jacksonville Memorial Day Remembrance Ceremony.

Colonel Strahle covered the history of Memorial Day and its Illinois roots. He delivered a powerful message about the sacrifice of our country's fallen, as well as the sacrifice made by the Gold Star families who bear the brunt of those sacrifices made on behalf of our freedoms.

Remember the fallen and remember their families.
