SPRING RIVER CLEANUP FLAG DAY MONUMENT

The Fox Valley Patriotic Organization is continually raising funds to build the Flag Day Monument on the Riverwalk in Batavia. This nationalcaliber Flag Day Monument will be a tribute to the American flag and to all of those who have fought to keep it flying. Dr. Bernard J. Cigrand who is considered a Father of Flag Day was a dentist in Batavia for decades. This monument will honor him, Illinois Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, all veterans and military personnel, and first responders.

Construction on the monument began this spring with a completion date anticipated for October.
