Gold Star father Ralph Grieco, a retired Army colonel, talks with Ray Wieczorek during the Chicago Fire Boat Architectural Tour on Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. Col. (ret.) Grieco is the father of Illinois Army National Guard Staff Sgt. Kevin Grieco, who was killed in action in Afghanistan on Oct. 27, 2008. Wieczorek is the stepfather of Illinois Army National Guard Sgt. Robert Weinger, who was killed in action on March 15, 2009, in Afghanistan. The July 29 boat tour was organized by the U.S. Army's Survivor Outreach Services and the Illinois National Guard for the 34 Illinois National Guard Gold Star Families whose service members were killed overseas since the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. The tour, led by Maj. Gen. Rich Neely, the Adjutant General of Illinois and Commander of the Illinois National Guard, gave the Gold Star Families time to connect with each other and the leader of the Illinois National Guard.
