    Illinois National Guard Gold Star Families Enjoy Chicago Fire Boat Tour and Each Other

    Gold Star father Anthony Vazquez (right) poses for a photo with Illinois Army National Guard Spc. Luigi Cabantog during the Chicago Fire Boat Architectural Tour on Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. Tony Vazquez is the father of Illinois Army National Guard Staff Sgt. Jason Vazquez, who was killed in action in Afghanistan on Sept. 17, 2008. In his civilian life, Staff Sgt. Vazquez was an officer with the Cook County Sheriff's Department. Cabantog is a Soldier with the Illinois Army National Guard's Funeral and Honors Program. 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.
