Honoring The Fallen And Their Families
by Wendy McNamara
Memorial Day is a solemn day of remembrance to honor those who gave their lives serving our nation in uniform. While we can never fully repay the debt owed to those who died protecting our freedom, as a public servant, I will continue supporting our veterans and their families.
To learn more about the brave Hoosiers who have defended our country, visit the Indiana War Memorial Plaza Historic District in the heart of the state’s capital. With a large museum and 24 acres of parks, monuments, sculptures, statues and fountains, only Washington, D.C., has more veterans’ monuments.
The Indiana Military Veterans Hall of Fame honors the tremendous sacrifices of Indiana military veterans and their families. Click here to learn more about those who have been inducted, and if you would like to nominate a veteran to the Hall of Fame, click here.
The Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization that transports America’s veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit memorials honoring their sacrifices. Various trips are scheduled for this year. To be included or volunteer with an Honor Flight, click here.
This weekend, please join me in reflecting upon the sacrifices of those who laid down their lives in service to this nation, and take a moment to acknowledge others who lost a loved one in the line of duty.
