Today, at the start of the General Assembly's fall veto session, State Representative Dan Swanson took a moment to pay tribute to veterans past and present. Following Veterans Day, Swanson presented House Resolution 878, honoring the valiant soldiers from Galesburg who served in the Civil War. These men were part of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment, an instrumental unit in the fight to end slavery in the United States. Swanson's recognition serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy and sacrifices of those who fought for freedom and equality in one of the nation's darkest times.
