The Bishop Noll Band had the opportunity to participate in the dedication of a war memorial in the Hegewisch neighborhood on Saturday, November 7th. Members of the American Legion South Shore Post 388 have been working together for the past 10 years to bring the Vietnam era M60 tank to Chicago to complete the Hegewisch Veterans Memorial.
Local officials dedicated the M60 in front of a patriotic crowd of veterans from several conflicts, as well as many neighbors. The BNI Band supported the event by playing “America the Beautiful.”
