As a tangible reminder of the service of our veterans and current soldiers, the Village of Bourbonnais, in partnership with Olivet, plans to construct a Veterans Freedom Sign to be located on campus.
The sign will serve as a place to honor the names of veterans and service people currently enlisted who reside or have ever lived in the Kankakee region. The project is to help in honoring Veteran's Day 2008.
