The Italian American Veterans Museum was a socially distanced beehive of activity on Columbus Day, with more than 17 visitors passing through its doors on the afternoon of Oct. 12, 2020. Strict protocols were followed, with everybody wearing masks, using hand sanitizer, and occupancy limited to groups of no more than 10 family members and friends at a time. Board member and retired Army Major Lorenzo Fiorentino manned the post throughout the afternoon. Among his quests were the members of the Color Guard who participated in the Proud & Positive Rally at Arrigo Park in Chicago earlier in the day. The Color Guard was provided by the American Legion post 974 of Franklin Park, thanks to good offices of Post Commander Anthony Siciliano.
