Today, at the Indiana War Memorials Hoosiers gathered to honor and remember our nation’s prisoners of war and those who remain missing in action.

On POW/MIA Recognition Day, we pause to remember our Hoosier POWs and MIAs—their courage, their sacrifice, and the families who continue to carry their memory and wait for answers.

At IDVA, our commitment to Indiana’s Veterans extends beyond connecting them with the benefits they’ve earned. It also means honoring their service, preserving their legacy and ensuring their sacrifices are never forgotten.

We were honored to join today’s ceremony.

Today in Delaware County, District Service Officer Katie Jordan, alongside County Veteran Service Officers and the local Vet Center, hosted a Stand Down for Veterans.

Events like this strengthen our community by connecting Veterans with essential resources, fostering meaningful support networks, and reinforcing the importance of su***de prevention. Participants even had the opportunity to receive a fresh haircut, courtesy of Maxwell's Barber Shop.

A Day That Called a Generation to Serve

Today, we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and recognize the extraordinary courage shown by first responders, service members, and everyday citizens who stood up in a moment of tragedy. We are grateful for all who continue to serve and protect our communities and our nation.

As we remember the impact of that day, we invite you to take a moment for reflection. If you’re in Indianapolis, consider visiting the 9/11 Monument on the Canal—a place dedicated to remembrance, resilience, and unity.

Yesterday, the Enduring Promise ceremony was held at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument.

The Indiana State, DAR, the Indiana War Memorials Foundation and the Bricklayer Apprenticeship - BAC 4 IN/KY Apprenticeship & Training Program were instrumental in completing this two-year project honoring WWII service members still Missing in Action.

Following the ceremonies, a wreath was placed over the Bricks paying tribute to Hoosier MIAs from the Vietnam War, Korean War, and now WWII.

We remain committed to honoring and supporting Hoosier Veterans, and our promise to them will never waver.
