Indiana War Memorial Plaza Historic District

Memorial Day is not just a time to remember—it’s a time to recommit.

Across Indiana, families will gather today. Some will set an empty seat at the table. Some will visit a grave in silence.

Some will remember the voice of a loved one lost in service to this nation.

We honor their sacrifice not just with words, but with action. That means making sure every veteran gets the care they earned. That military families aren’t left navigating a maze of red tape. That Hoosiers who wore the uniform are met with gratitude and real support—not just once a year, but every single day.

If Memorial Day means anything, it’s this: the freedoms we enjoy today were paid for by those who never made it home. We owe them more than ceremony—we owe them a country that keeps its promises.

At 3 p.m., I’ll be joining millions across the nation in a moment of silence. I hope you’ll join me. Then, let’s get back to work. Because freedom isn’t just remembered—it’s upheld through how we care for the people who defended it.

📍 For veterans, military families and survivors seeking support:

Let’s honor the fallen by standing with the living. And let’s keep working toward a state—and a country—worthy of their sacrifice.
