Ela Township honors Veterans

Ela staff and volunteers add flags to the gravesites of veterans at Lake Zurich and Fairfield cemeteries

Honoring Our Veterans

In preparation for Veterans Day, Ela Township Cemetery Manager Thompson and Township Supervisor Laurie Wilhoit, along with dedicated community volunteers—including Carol Sullivan and several caring residents—placed American flags at the gravesites of Veterans at both Lake Zurich and Fairfield Cemeteries.

This heartfelt annual tradition is a small but powerful gesture of gratitude, ensuring that those who bravely served our nation are remembered and honored. Each flag serves as a symbol of respect for the courage, sacrifice, and commitment shown by our Veterans in protecting the freedoms we enjoy today.
