On a warm, sunny Memorial Day, Mayor Lori Lightfoot and a small gathering of veterans and their families laid wreaths at the base of the statue of Maj. Gen. John A Logan.
The hour-long ceremony Monday marked the first time Lightfoot attended the small-scale commemoration since 2019 — though the event continued the last two years without official sanction from the city because of pandemic restrictions. The mayor gave a brief speech before ascending the small hill to lay a wreath at the base of the Logan monument.
