SPRINGFIELD, ILL. (AP) -- A memorial service is planned Friday at the Capitol Rotunda in Springfield for the 14 Illinois service members who lost their lives during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

Gov. Pat Quinn plans a proclamation declaring Sunday as Desert Storm Remembrance Day in Illinois.

The memorial service and proclamation mark the 19th anniversary of the cease-fire announcement in the Persian Gulf War.

The guest speaker at Friday's 11 a.m. service is Nancy Tieber-Wiles, a U.S. Army medical specialist and Operation Desert Storm veteran.
