Speaking
during a ceremony at the Logan County Courthouse, Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn
honored all soldiers, particularly those who have given their lives
in the fight against terrorism. The "Portrait of a Soldier" event
over the noon hour Thursday launched an exhibition of pencil
sketches of Illinois soldiers who have sacrificed their lives. The
portraits are on display in the courthouse for a limited time,
including special hours Saturday and Sunday.
