CHESTER – The Illinois Army National Guard presented senior banners to the seven Chester High School senior baseball players.
This has been a very gracious gesture from the ILARNG for several years as a way of honoring senior athletes.
Making the presentation to the Chester boys was SFC Dane Patterson, local Army National Guard Recruiter.
