100th Anniversary Department of Indiana

 I had the pleasure of driving to Indianapolis today...and back!  Long drive but worth it to be part of their commemoration. It was hot and humid but the rain backed off long enough for the ceremony. What a nice memorial spot they have outside the Headquarters building!  And, yes, I will be buying a brick!

Many past state commanders and officers showed up along with "my" National Commander in Chief, Bill Thien, from 2013-2014. State political dignitaries presented citations and greetings and I presented a (very large) national 100th anniversary citation. There was a nice turnout and there was cake afterward. Apparently, I'll speak anywhere if there's cake!  Indiana is going to have a great year because they have great teamwork and they care about what they are doing for veterans!
