To better understand what Memorial Day is all about, we have put together 13 banners for the Memorial Day Parade titled “Never Forget …. Naperville’s Fallen.” These banners list the names, by war, of all of our 114 Naperville Soldiers that paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving their country to protect our freedoms. From the Black Hawk War up through the War in Afghanistan, Naperville Soldiers have always been there, committed to doing the job of protecting their brothers and sisters while taking on the enemy. Let us “Never Forget” this sacrifice – not just on Memorial Day, but every day of the year. We cannot thank them enough. – Wayne Fischer, USMC Veteran
