Looking for excitement and fun this upcoming weekend? Cookouts, parties, celebrations!
How about spending some time Memorial Day the way it was intended?
Memorial Day is a day to remember those who served, fought, and died in defense of America. Within Chicago there are more than 30 war memorials located throughout the city, giving visitors an opportunity to honor those who served their country while learning about Chicago’s rich cultural history. More information about the city’s memorials can be found at www.ExploreChicago.org.
In addition to honoring America’s fallen and those who have served, there are many activities going on both in the city and in the ‘burbs.

Veterans, Q101 thanks you from the bottom of our hearts for you and your families’ sacrifice for our country.
This day is not JUST about parties and cookouts. Sure,we will attend a cookout, have a great time, hoist a beer, and laugh. But keep in mind those who served our country.
If you are in or near Munster, IN, today, take a few moments to visit the Veteran’s War Memorial. There will be a service at 11:30 a.m. Veterans will be there throughout the day.
Stop by, shake their hand, and thank them for their service. Bring an extra ice water or two to share.
It’s gonna be a hot one, but still, take the time. You will be glad you did.
