13 | | and our dedication to continue to serve and honor our heroes |
14 | | upon their return. A portion of the revenues generated from the |
15 | | Yellow Ribbon plate will be deposited into the Illinois |
16 | | Veterans Assistance Fund to ensure continued commitment to |
17 | | support our men and women who bravely lay their lives on the |
18 | | line for our freedoms. |
