Tuesday marks the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and in Decatur, it will be observed with a traveling exhibit that pays tribute to all Illinois soldiers who have died in the war on terror.
The “Portrait of a Soldier” exhibit features hand-drawn sketches of each of the servicemen and women from Illinois who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Governor Pat Quinn was on hand Saturday to open the exhibit at the Decatur Public Library, where it will be on display for a week.
