INFO

The State Historic Sites at Springfield invite you to join us for this annual ceremony to honor and remember the Illinoisans listed as prisoners of war or missing in action (POW/MIA) during the Vietnam War. The event is on Dec. 7 at 1 p.m. at the Vietnam Memorial in Oak Ridge Cemetery. 

Family and friends of soldiers will have the opportunity to hang handmade, heart-shaped ornaments with the names of loved ones on a tree near the memorial. The names of the POW/MIA soldiers will be read aloud. Family and friends are also welcome to bring their own weatherproof ornaments to hang on the tree.
