“There are several people from central Illinois who have received the Medal of Honor. We wanted a way to acknowledge them and recognize their unique service,” said Art Rodriquez, AMVETS district IV commander.

The plaque will be displayed in the Bloomington CBOC.

“We are grateful for this generous contribution from AMVETS to the VA Illiana health care system. It is a wonderful way to honor all of those from our communities who have received the Medal of Honor,” said Dr. Staci Williams, medical center director.
