Courthouse open house honors veterans, showcases expansion
SYCAMORE – Lori Emmer said she did not realize the profound importance of Veterans Day until 1983, when she saw American soldiers who had just arrived from Grenada.
Emmer said she knew about Veterans Day from her father, who spent 20 years in the U.S. Navy.
“However, the Vietnam War was such a prevalent part of my childhood. I don’t remember Veterans Day ceremonies,” she said.
