June is PTSD Awareness Month — a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and support those impacted by post-traumatic stress disorder.

Every day, first responders, healthcare professionals, military members, and countless others experience traumatic events that can leave lasting emotional and psychological impacts. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Georgetown Ambulance and Fire Department stands with all those affected by PTSD and encourages open conversations about mental health, peer support, and access to care.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone. Support is available.

Our thoughts are with his family.

Today, we join our community in honoring and remembering former Tilton Police Chief Steve Cornett as he makes his final journey home to Vermilion County.

Steve began his service in 1984 and faithfully served the community for more than three decades before retiring as Tilton Chief of Police in 2017.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, former coworkers, and all those affected by this tragic loss.

As the procession travels back through the county today, we ask the community to join us in showing respect for a man who dedicated much of his life to public service.

Rest easy, Chief. Your service and commitment to this community will not be forgotten. 💛
