Honor and Remember - Illinois Chapter, Chesapeake, VA (2025)

"The mission of Honor and Remember is to create, establish and promote a nationally recognized flag that will fly continuously as a visible reminder to all Americans of the lives lost in defense of our national freedoms," said George Lutz, founder and director of Honor and Remember, Inc. "The flag honors all military lives lost from our nation's inception, not only in action but also in service."

On December 29, 2005, George Anthony Lutz II (Tony) was killed by a sniper's bullet while he was on patrol in Fallujah, Iraq. His family and friends endured the shock, emotional agony and overwhelming loss that accompanied the news of Tony's death, just like the many families who have suffered the same tragedy. In the months that followed Tony's funeral, his father, George, visited other families who had lost loved ones in the Iraq war. These families were only the latest additions to a group that originated with the American Revolution, when the first soldiers to shed their blood for our freedom gave their lives. George found another commonality among the families of fallen soldiers. After their grief had transitioned to numbness and finally to acceptance, many families wanted to know two things: their sacrifice was not in vain and the nation would never forget. These concerns led George on a quest to discover if there was a universally recognized symbol that specifically acknowledges the American service men and women who never made it home. To his surprise, he found nothing. Thus the Honor and Remember Flag was conceived. Honor and Remember, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Honor and Remember - Illinois Chapter is starting
A new Mission for the year of 2025.

The Honor and Remember flag is meant to show the Families of Our Fallen that a Grateful Nation will Never Forget their Fallen Hero.

The gift of the Personalized Honor and Remember or Honor and Sacrifice Flags requires sponsors and/or donations because the Families do not pay for Our flag.

The Illinois Chapters goal is to make sure we cover Illinois with flags because We are Illinois Strong!

My name is Denise Carson. I am a Women's Army Corp Veteran. I am the State Ambassador.

Please, I am looking for donations to make sure all Our Families of Fallen have the knowledge that We have not Forgot their Fallen Hero's.

Our flag is not a remembrance for the family but for Everyone Else to read and Say their Hero's name so they are not Forgetten.

Illinois Chapter is asking for donations, no matter what size, and Sponsors for Legacy Flags.

Please take time to go to: 1) www.honorandremember.org and select drop down for Sponsor flag (specifying Illinois)
2) Our P.O. box is:
Honor and Remember Illinois , PO Box 2131, Joliet Illinois 60434 for snail mail
3) email @ honorandremember.org or message on Facebook for more details
4) give any referrals for company/corporation donations.

Our Mission is for Illinois, and eventually the Nation, to fly this flag to Honor All Our Fallen Hero's. We are Free because of their sacrifice.

Together We can't say all thier Names....but we can say A NAME one at a time.

Thank you reading this...

WE WILL NEVER FORGET.

Moms, you first held them as babies. You remember them as children playing in a yard, blowing out candles, taking their first steps. “This is a club no one wants to join. But this is where we are. And we're as proud as we ever were… Remember them as the ones we loved.” We will always remember, honor, comfort, and be indebted to the Mothers and Families of America's Armed Forces for their sacrifice. It was sacrifice that brought us together. Love, compassion, and strength unite us. My love & prayers are with the precious Fallen Hero Moms and Families who are holding on to memories of a child. - George Lutz Founder of Honor and Remember Video credit: Christopher Murphy #MothersDay #CelebrateMom #GoldStarMothers #FallenWarriors #SuperHero #ThankYou #HonorRemember #HonorandRemember #HonorandSacrifice #TogetherWeRememberThemAll #Nomurphno
