Medal of Honor recipient Allen Lynch to deliver keynote address.
In honor of Veterans Day, the Veterans Treatment Court will hold it’s 10-year Reunion Celebration on November 9, at 2:30 p.m., in Room 300, at the Kankakee County Courthouse. Medal of Honor recipient Allen Lynch will deliver the keynote address.
Treatment courts provide justice-involved veterans with the structure, accountability, treatment, and mentoring needed to repair their lives. By keeping veterans out of jail and prison, our treatment court helps save their lives, families, and futures, all while reducing costs to taxpayers.
Next week’s inspiring reunion is to honor all of the current participants and also those who have graduated during the past 10 years. Veterans Treatment Court initially was started in November of 2013, with its first participant and court date and is evidence of the tremendous impact the Veterans Treatment Court has had on our community and those who have served our country.
The event will recognize all individuals whose lives have been transformed by the treatment and support provided by the program. We hope all those who have supported this program during the 10 years will be in attendance, as well as all those who have been and are participants.
