            Dear Editor: All Illinois veterans, active-duty personnel, and 
			friends and families of service members are being encouraged to 
			participate in a special Veterans Legislative Day May 22 in 
			Springfield. 
			The Legislative Day will provide briefings, updates from members 
			of the Senate's Veterans Affairs Committee, and opportunities for 
			veterans to meet with legislators. It is sponsored by state Sen. 
			Bill Brady, R-Bloomington, and other members of the Senate 
			Republican Caucus. 
			The event will begin with check-in from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. 
			in the Hall of Flags in the Howlett Building on the State Capitol 
			Complex in Springfield. The day's programs will begin at 11 a.m.  
			Lunch will be provided for all veterans and their guests who RSVP 
			by May 13. Registration is being conducted online at
			www.vets.ilsenategop.org. 
			Those who do not have Internet access can make reservations by 
			calling 217-782-1650. Additional information -- including a map 
			showing the location of the Howlett Building, as well as updates on 
			the event -- is also available at the Web site. 
			Although sponsored by the Republican senators, the Veterans 
			Legislative Day will be strictly nonpartisan. I look forward to 
			seeing you all May 22 in Springfield. 
			Sincerely, 
			Bill Brady 
			State senator, 44th District
