To remember all those who served and were killed in the line of duty, I request that we all have Memorial Weekend off. This time is crucial for families and communities to come together to honor the sacrifices made by our brave servicemen and women. Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May, is a federal holiday dedicated to this remembrance.

In Tonica, IL, like many other places across the nation, it is important that we have this time without work obligations so we can participate in commemorative events and spend quality time with loved ones. By granting everyone this weekend off, we ensure that no one misses out on paying their respects due to work commitments.

Please sign this petition to support giving everyone in Tonica the opportunity to fully observe Memorial Weekend.
