State Senator Michael E. Hastings, 19th District, points to his young son, Mikey, who is giving him a "thumbs up" as he discusses the bills he sponsored. Senator Hastings is an Army Veteran and graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Joined by legislators, advocates, the Adjutant General of Illinois Maj. Gen. Rich Neely, and Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs (IDVA) Acting Director Terry Prince, Governor JB Pritzker signed seven pieces of legislation today, Aug. 15, that aim to improve the lives of Illinois’ service members and veterans and honor their service to their state and nation. The legislation included a bill that honors Illinois National Guard members killed while performing their duties under the authority of the Governor through the presentation of a State of Illinois Flag to their next-of-kin.
