• Oak Lawn-Hometown Pays Tribute To All Who Served: Veterans Day 2026 (patch.com) — Hometown plans to honor veterans at Patterson Park’s eternal flame, near Main Street and Pulaski Road, with lunch afterward for veterans at Hometown-Murray VFW Post 9773. The notice lists an 11:11 a.m. ceremony but says Monday, conflicting with Veterans Day’s Wednesday, Nov. 11 date, so the timing needs confirmation.
