Sam Montalbano, a well-known community volunteer and former Sangamon County Board member, will be honored Wednesday – Veterans Day -- with dedication of a flag pole in his name outside Little Flower Catholic Church and School.

"He’s been a really involved member of the parish, an usher at the church for 50 years," said Bill Moredock, principal of the school, which has students from pre-school through 8th grade. "He’s just done so many things." Tom Madonia Jr., president of the Little Flower Men’s Club, said the brief ceremony to honor Montalbano will be at 1:30 p.m. It is open to the public, but people should wear masks and keep adequate distance from other people.
