About this Event
The Village of Park Forest Veterans Commission invites veterans, families, and community members to the Veterans Day 2026 Community Experience: We’ve Got Your Six.
Veterans are encouraged to register in advance so we can prepare to welcome and recognize everyone joining us. Help us by registering and encouraging other veterans to register as well.
Park Forest is home to 44 women veterans, and our goal is to honor each one with a rose. If you are a Park Forest woman veteran, please register so we can include you in this special recognition.
