Mission

Our mission is two-fold:

Honor
Our main mission is to honor Hoosier veterans, and ensure that the sacrifices they've made to defend our great nation and preserve our freedoms are not forgotten.

Educate
We are equally committed to educating citizens about the military history of our state and country, and especially about those who served, and in many cases made the ultimate sacrifice, so that we may live the lifestyle we so often take for granted. In today's world, fewer and fewer citizens serve in the military; therefore, there are fewer civic leaders, legislators, teachers, and parents who can relate first-hand what it means to serve in the Armed Forces. We feel it is important for all Americans, and especially our youth, to hear this story.
