The Gold Star Mission annual bike journey across the state continues with stops across Mid Illinois Saturday.   You're encouraged to greet them as they honor fallen military heroes.  Planned stops include Highland VFW (lunch) @ 11:38 Marine Senior Citizen Center @12:51 Staunton VFW @ 2:31 Litchfield Tourism Dept/Carnegie Park @ 3:54.   The Gold Star Mission seeks to honor and support our Illinois Gold Star Families by preserving the memory of their Illinois Fallen Military Service Members. In 2017, we began offering scholarships in honor of our Illinois Fallen Military Service Members to those who exemplify selfless service in their own communities. Since then, we have awarded $317,000.00 in scholarships honoring our Fallen.
