What: On Thursday, November 8th, the Hoosier Patriot Memorial was dedicated in honor of the Indiana National Guard Service.

The memorial is located at Washington Park East Cemetery also features a backdrop of large glass walls, which when completed will contain etchings of art depicting Guard soldiers from the historic minutemen to modern troops
Why: The project coordinator Bert Pettygrove wanted to create a place for people to go where they can commemorate Guardsmen. The Hoosier Patriot Memorial was made possible by supporters who raised $550,000 to support the Guard.
