This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the reason we enjoy the freedoms and communities we hold dear today.

We’re grateful to all who helped place flags, prepare our cemeteries, and coordinate memorial services for the holiday weekend. Each act may be a small gesture, but an important way to ensure our veterans are never forgotten.

From all of us at Unit 7 Fire Protection District, thank you to those who served, those who sacrificed, and to the families who carry that sacrifice every day.

Please take a moment this weekend to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

This morning, members of our station were proud to continue the Memorial Day tradition of placing flags at the graves of veterans in the Gillespie city and Catholic cemeteries in town.

We want to give a huge thank you to the Gillespie-Benld Area Ambulance Service for assisting us and helping make this possible. It’s always special to see local agencies working together to honor those who served our country.

While we do our absolute best to place a flag on every veteran’s grave, we know that occasionally we may miss someone. If you notice a veteran without a flag, please send us a message or let one of our members know so we can make it right as quickly as possible.

As we head into Memorial Day weekend, we encourage everyone to take a moment to remember the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. We are proud to honor them and are grateful to serve a community that never forgets. 🇺🇸

It is here. The last fry of the Lenten fish fry season.

One more shot at the good stuff- buffalo, white fish, shrimp, hush puppies, fries, and slaw.

Just one last run to close it out, today at 4pm. And while the Illini are making a run in the Final Four,
you’ve got one last chance to catch a taste of our own version of March Madness.

Tonight, every single order ticket comes with a copy of the Captain Link rookie card on the stub.

That’s right- just show up, order your fish, and you’re driving away with a piece of fish fry history. If you’re luck, the legend may even autograph it for you.
