Well, the Lincoln funeral has come and gone and now we look ahead to the rest of May. The battery was solicited to provide a little color in honor of Armed Forces Day on the 16th. I can't think of a better way to honor our men and women in uniform than to uniform up ourselves and talk about what is was like in the artille ry 150 years ago. This will take place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Should be a good time!
Then, on May 20th, we will be arming up and talking to the fine students at Greenwood Middle School. Always a good time! Nothing better than educating the next generation about our nation's history! AND, we get to fire a volley or two at the end of the day. These kids have always been very polite and attentive. I really do enjoy being a part of their education every year.
And last, but certainly not least, we will be firing a couple of salutes at Crown Hill Cemetery for their Memorial Day service. The awesome thing about this is that we will be firing a 21 gun salute with the fine soldiers of the Indiana National Guard. Governor Mike Pence, hundreds of veterans and many other notables will be in attendance. We must never forget those that have given their all in defense of our great nation. It really is a beautiful ceremony and I highly recommend that everyone attend. Hope to see you all there!
