The month long Prague-Chicago Days celebration concluded on June 30, 2007 with the Rededication of Cermak Road. Anton Cermak was born in Bohemia and is the only foreign born mayor of Chicago. He was assassinated while riding in a motorcade with President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933
Back row: Borek Lizec, Consul, Deputy Consul General, CR; Ken Dvorsky, Trustee, BNC; H.E. Petr Kolar, Ambassador to the United States, CR; Anton Cermak Kerner; and Ray Capek. Front row: the Honorable Marek Skolil, Consul General, CR; Radovan Steiner, Alderman Prague, CR; Marketa Reedova, Deputy Mayor Prague, CR; Judy Barr Topinka; Andy Bultas, Trustee BNC; and Tomas Chalupa, Mayor Prague 6.
The rededication ceremony began in the Bohemian National Cemetery at the Cermak Mausoleum. In attendance were H.E.

The ceremony included a wreath laying at the mausoleum and speeches by Ambassador Kolar, Mayor Chalupa, Alderman Steiner and Judy Barr Topinka.
After the ceremony at the cemetery, the rededication was held in Dvorak Park located at Cermak Road and May Streets. For that, Mayor Richard Daley was joined by City of Chicago Aldermen and members of the Mexican Consular Staff as well as the representatives of the Czech Republic.
The first Memorial Day Commemoration at Bohemian National Cemetery was on May 29, 1892 when the Civil War Monument was dedicated. The Cemetery Association has held Memorial Day services through the years, and again this year we will honor those who have protected our freedom.
The Memorial Day Ceremony will be held at 9:00 AM on Monday, May 31, 2010 in the chapel of the Crematorium. A reception in the administration building will begin at 8:30 AM, and at 9:00 the guests will march to the Crematorium led by the Sokol Spirit Color Guard.
Everyone is welcome and urged to attend the ceremony, and tour the cemetery. During the week preceding Memorial Day volunteers will place American flags on the graves of more than 2500 veterans at rest in the cemetery. This web-site contains the names of the veterans thus far identified as being buried at Bohemian National Cemetery. Anyone wishing to assist in placing flags on the veterans’ graves is asked to contact the cemetery office (708-788-8442, 773-539-8442 or bnca2003@sbcglobal.net).
