..."The resiliency in Highland Park is helping them all heal, as we near the one-year remembrance of that tragedy.
"We are Highland Park, it's about people coming together. To support each other, to reflect on the past, and also be together as we continue to move forward," said Highland Park resident Ghida Neukirch.
The day began with a memorial and moment of silence for the seven victims outside City Hall at 10:00 a.m.
"After that memorial, we are, as a community, walking to reclaim the parade route.

After the walk, there will be a picnic. And in the evening, a concert by Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band is followed by a drone light show."...
