We have joined this suit via the Allen Lynch Medal of Honor Foundation because we have one, singular constituency: our living and fallen comrades.

It doesn't matter if it's Arlington or Abraham Lincoln, they are the same."

“The Will County Farm Bureau strongly opposes forced annexation and condemnation of land.”
"The proposed industrial development by NorthPoint is not in the best interest of Manhattan School District 114, its students, or its citizens"
