Illinois LBGT people have served honorably and admirably in Americas armed forces and deserve to be recognized. After years of hard work by the Chicago Chapter of American Veterans for Equal Rights (AVER), Im pleased to announce that a memorial in honor of all LGBT Illinois veterans will be erected in Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood. I had the honor of celebrating this achievement with this outstanding group last night.
