🪖 A Lasting Tribute to Those Who Served

Just outside the entrance to the Veterans Memorial Museum, along Historic National Road (US Highway 40) in downtown Terre Haute, a vivid and powerful mural stands behind the names of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The memorial honors local service members killed in action in World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, representing Vigo, Vermilion, Clay, Sullivan and Parke counties in Indiana, and Clark and Edgar counties in Illinois.

Each name represents a life, a family and a sacrifice that should never be forgotten from the West Central Indiana and East Central Illinois region.

🪖 Visit the Veterans Memorial Museum Saturdays from 12–4 p.m. (entrance is FREE) and take a moment to see this meaningful tribute.

We remember. We honor. We never forget.

It’s a good day when I can be a part of 19 Vietnam Veterans getting together at the Museum for our bi-weekly Coffee Hour! When I started the museum 14 years ago, I never dreamed it would be a vehicle for this kind of camaraderie…I am truly blessed to be able to do this!

If there are any other who would like to join in, we meet every other Saturday at 9 am at the Museum.

God bless our Veterans!
