Summary
Six-year-old Max Stoeber accompanies his father Andrew Stoeber, a staff sergeant in the Illinois Army National Guard, to a ceremony honoring fallen service members. Andrew Stoeber just completed the Gold Star 500 with the finish at the 1st Infantry Division Museum at Cantigny. The museum and the Robert R. McCormick Foundation hosted a ceremony honoring Illinois’ Fallen Warriors on Saturday, Sept. 28. The ceremony was sponsored by the nonprofit Gold Star Mission. Gold Star Mission’s president, David Helfrich, and vice president, Andrew Adamczyk, are Illinois National Guard officers and many of the organization’s staff and volunteers are active or retired Illinois National Guard troops or family members including some Gold Star Families. This year the organization raised about $100,000 to be awarded in honor of Fallen Warriors from Illinois. Gold Star Mission sponsors multiple events with the seminal event being an annual 500-mile, 5-day, endurance bicycle ride called the Gold Star 500, which ended Sept. 28.
