Editor’s note: The annual Morrison, IL, Veterans Day tribute will be held on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at Grove Hill Cemetery Veterans Memorial Park, on E. High Street. The short program will begin in the 11th month, on the 11th day, at the 11th hour.
American Legion Post 328 of Morrison, IL, stated, “…We are honored to forward this post from Sauk Valley Media – Shaw Local and add our words as well.
Bob [Brands] has been a dedicated Legionnaire with our Post for 46 years. Over nearly five decades, he has given so much of his time and heart to our organization–serving faithfully as our Post Chaplain; standing tall as a member of our Honor Guard; …marching proudly in countless parades through the years.
If there’s an event or a monthly meeting, you can bet Bob is there. On the rare occasion he can’t make it, we all know it truly saddens him to miss out on the camaraderie.
Always quick with a smile and a warm word, Bob is a welcome sight at every gathering, and every one of us is glad to call him a fellow Legionnaire and friend.
Thank you, Bob, for 46 years of unwavering service, leadership, and dedication to our Post, our veterans, and our community. We appreciate everything you do!
