Hoosier Boys Staters Save Peer’s Life Story by Brandon Krause, HBS Staff Indianapolis – “Best of the best” and “cream of the crop” are among the top phrases used to describe the 400 plus junior-aged, high school teens that attend Hoosier Boys State at Trine University every year. As the premier youth leadership program in Indiana, the program is widely regarded for attracting some of the finest young leaders throughout Indiana to simulate the state’s political process. Never has the quality and caliber of attendees been more apparent than on Tuesday, June 14, 2016. Hoosier Boys State Delegate Cole Walker from Greentown, Ind., approached a staff member and mentioned he was having difficulty breathing during a traditional softball game at Trine University. Without warning, his legs gave out from under him and he stopped breathing. As the staff on the scene quickly and calmly assessed the situation, Delegate Josh Walston from Versailles, Ind., rushed in and said, “If you need me, I’m a trained EMS.” Working together as a team in these precious moments, staff members Wyatt Vukobratovich and Robert Kelley worked with Josh and another delegate, Sean Bacha from Edinburgh, Ind., to keep Cole alive. Walston, trained in lifesaving techniques, immediately took control. He quickly assessed

the situation, checked vital signs and began to administer rescue breathing and chest compressions until emergency medical technicians arrived. Thankfully, local medical services arrived within minutes of being called. Walston stepped out of the way and provided the EMTs and medical personnel with vitals and a situation report. Emergency crews were able to have Cole airlifted to Cameron Memorial Community Hospital in Fort Wayne. There, he was able to get the critical treatment he needed. “Walston’s experience
and quick thinking saved a young man’s life and we are all extremely grateful and proud of his actions,” said Dept. Cmdr. Larry Lowry. “If it wasn’t for the actions of this knowledgeable young man who acted swiftly and selflessly to care for his fellow Hoosier Boys Stater, things could have turned very tragic.” The doctors were later able to determine that Walker suffered from Athletic Heart Syndrome, also known as Athlete’s Heart. However, they were uncertain what triggered this event in an
otherwise very healthy teen. What is known is that not many people survive such a sudden and rare occurrence. Cole’s unique case is now being studied by doctors from both the United States and Europe. Thanks to the quick and heroic actions of these four individuals, Walker is on the road to recovery and doing well. In fact, the doctors allowed him to go on an already planned family vacation during July. It is, “nothing short of remarkable,” says Scott Weyler, Associate Director of Hoosier Boys State. “This situation had the potential to be truly tragic. Given the scenario we were faced with, I don’t think there could’ve been a more positive outcome.” Hoosier Boys State Director Bob Oeth said, “The calm, professional and immediate reaction of Hoosier Boys State counselors to recognize the severity of the situation and make the appropriate call to emergency medical services is a credit to their training and commitment to the safety of the program’s participants.” SEE PAGE 7

your new hoosier Legion Commander
Department of Indiana 2015-2016 Cmdr. Larry Lowry passes his command to incoming 2016-2017 Department Cmdr. James B. May from Burton Woolery Post 18, Bloomington, Ind., at the 98th Annual Past National Treasurer Weber Lagrange swears in The American Legion, Department of Indiana new 2016-2017 officers at the 98th Annual Department Convention in Indianapolis on July 9, 2016. Department Convention in Indianapolis on July 9, 2016.
James B. May was elected The American Legion, Department of Indiana state commander by delegates from the 11 districts throughout the state during the 98th Indiana American Legion Convention July 9, 2015 in Indianapolis. The American Legion is comprised of military service veterans who have served honorably during times of conflict in defense of their nation and has been active within Indiana since 1919. The Indiana American Legion has representative veterans from every major conflict since World War II to Iraq and Afghanistan within its membership. May is a 46 year member of The American Legion, Department of Indiana. His Legion career began in 1970 at the Burton Woolery Post 18 in his hometown of Bloomington, Ind. He’s served every position available there, some several times over. May has held many major offices on the District level, including Adjutant, Sgt. at Arms, Membership and Finance. Every post in the 7th district had 100% membership during his year as District Commander 2001 – 2002. He also served on many committees, among his most rewarding were Children

The 98th Annual Department Convention brought the curtain down on another Legion year with the election of a new slate of officers and a sometimes bittersweet “State of the Legion” report by outgoing commander Larry Lowry. The commander, in an emotional tribute to the late First Lady, Claudia, said “I first need to thank my lovely wife of 42 years, Claudia, for her commitment as First Lady of The American Legion, Department of Indiana.

and Youth, Employment and Legislative Committees. He served as Department Southern Vice Commander 2009 – 2010. May has served as chairman of all four Department of Indiana commissions; Americanism, Children and Youth, Internal Affairs and Rehabilitation. He served on the National Media and Communications Council and the National Convention Contest Committee. In 1983, May married his wife of 33 years, Marsha. Together, they raised his stepson Andrew Michael Stephenson, who is captain at the Indiana University Police Department in Bloomington, Ind. They have two grandsons, Z and Ty. Both are avid football players in high school and college. May earned his Legion membership eligibility through his service in the U.S. Army 1968 – 1971. He deployed to Vietnam with the 23rd Infantry Division, known popularly as the Americal Division, 1969 – 1970. He served as a personnel sergeant traveling Vietnam to provide administrative support to troops in fire bases and forward operating bases across the country. After his tour of duty, he continued to serve his nation in the Army Reserves here in Indiana for 18 more years. He
retired with 21 years-of-service in 1990. After his military service, May went to work for the Indiana Department of Transportation as a crew leader for signs and signals department in the Seymour, Ind., district for 20 years. He retired in 1989 and went on to work security and eventually as a purchaser at Crane Naval Base from 1989 until he retired again in 2010. May takes American Legion membership very seriously. This year marked his 20th Consecutive Gold Brigade award at the 98th Annual Convention in Indianapolis. The Gold Brigade award is given to Legion recruiters who enroll 50 members or more annually. In 2001-2002, he recruited his all-time high, 182 members in his District. His motto this year is, “Remember the Past, Look to the Future.” “We need to remember where we came from, how we were started,” said May. “We need to get back to our roots in order to look and plan for the future. We need to get back to our core values and secure younger membership to be our future leaders.” May’s “Commander’s Project” this year is to develop a new fund to bring immediate aid to struggling Indiana veterans.
“It’s a brand new fund the Department of Indiana staff and I have developed after recognizing a gap in benefits for our Hoosier Veterans,” said May. “Every day, the Department receives calls from distressed veterans in need of assistance. Many times, we have to turn our fellow veterans away, simply because they do not have children in the home, as all of our emergency

Her heartfelt love of veterans, Legionnaires and their families is and always was unwavering. “Words cannot express the gratitude I feel to you, Claudia, and for your dedication, commitment and sacrifice to me and to The American Legion.” Claudia Lowry passed away only hours after Commander Lowry left office. “The year you gave to Claudia is one that we will never forget. The friends we made … the opportunities we were given … and the many hundreds of miles we traveled will be with us for the rest of our lives, and that is a gift that few men ever receive.” Commander Lowry went on to ask “Are we strong? Are we relevant? Are we secure in our future?” You will find his responses to these questions on Page 3 of this issue.
in our organization’s future.” “We need to continue to grow our communications methods and abilities to both our members and potential members. Together, we plan to move forward on the Department campaign initiative, ‘we change lives,’ because that’s what we do as Legionnaires. We work together to improve the lives of our fellow veterans, their families and their communities. We work our Legion programs, provide scholarships for youth, we provide free benefits assistance to all veterans, we fundraise and donate to our local communities and Legion charities. “We need to get back to communicating the core values and fundamentals of what our organization was founded on.” Joining Commander May in taking the oath of office were Northern Vice Commanders Nick Nicholoff from the 4th District and Pete Van Woerden from the 1st District, Southern Vice Commanders Richard Brown from the 11th District and Milton Howard from the 9th District, and Department Sergeant-atArms Bob Brinson from the 7th District. Peggy Bishop and Joe Shultis were elected to the top leadership positions in their organizations during the recently concluded Department Auxiliary and
SAL conventions. Bishop, from Unit 265 in the 8th District, was elected President of the American Legion Auxiliary, Department of Indiana. Shultis, from Squadron 97 in the 4th District, was elected Commander of the Indiana Detachment of the Sons of The American Legion.
Bloomington’s Jim May Elected Commander Convention delegates have elected James B. May, a Vietnam War Army veteran and long-time leader at Bloomington’s Post 18 to head the department for 2016-2017. He took the oath of office during the closing session July 9, promising to stay relevant to the newer generations of veterans and secure, “longevity
relief programs require this standard. And so, we’ve created the Indiana Veterans Emergency Transition System or iVETS to fill the gap where many older veterans whose children are grown, and younger veterans without children cannot receive our assistance.”
Newly elected, 2016-2017 Department Cmdr. James B. May from Burton Woolery Post 18, Bloomington, Ind., gives his acceptance speech at the 98th Annual Department Convention in Indianapolis on July 9, 2016.
Delegates Okay Bill to Honor Otis Bowen Delegates to the 98th annual Department Convention July 8 overwhelmingly approved a resolution endorsing a bill that would name the new Family Housing Unit at Indianapolis’ Roudebush VA Medical Center in honor of former Indiana Governor Otis Bowen. Resolution 2016C02 puts the 82,000 members of The American Legion Department of Indiana fully in support of United States House of Representatives Bill 5509, sponsored by Indiana Congresswoman Susan Brooks (R-5th). The resolution cites the late governor’s World War II service, his 59-year American Legion membership record, and his lifetime championing of veteran and civilian healthcare-related issues. Bowen served as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services for nearly four years during the Ronald Reagan administration.

No Rank on Membership Cards A recent inquiry concerning the use of military rank as part of the name on an American Legion membership card prompted a review of the Department Constitution and an interpretation of Article II by the department judge advocate. In his ruling, Judge Advocate Joe Bumbleburg determined that the constitutional prohibition against the use of rank in official legion matters extends to the card. Post and district officers should decline requests from members to include their former or current military rank on their membership cards. Judge Bumbleburg said in his ruling “After my review of Article II, Nature of the Organization and the Constitution of The American Legion, Department of Indiana, I am of the opinion that the request that the Legion card contain a military rank is not appropriate, given our constitution, which provides that rank does not exist in the Legion. “Additionally, no member can be addressed by military or naval title in convention or meeting of the department or any post thereof. I believe, however, that the sentence that says “rank does not exist in the Legion” is sufficient basis to not authorize rank to be shown on membership cards.”

2015-2016 state of the legion The following is Past Department Cmdr. Larry Lowry’s State of the Legion speech given at the 98th Annual Convention of The American Legion, Department of Indiana held in Indianapolis on July 9. I address you all with a range of mixed emotions. It’s been one hell of a ride, of that we can all be sure. I first need to thank my lovely wife of 42 years, Claudia, for her commitment as First Lady of The American Legion, Department of Indiana. Regardless of the severity of her condition, she always put our Legion Family first. Her heartfelt love of Veterans, Legionnaires and their families is and always was unwavering. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel to you Claudia, and for your dedication, commitment and sacrifice to me, and to The American Legion. I cannot thank you all enough for the opportunity you’ve given me to serve you as your Department Commander. It’s been a wonderful ride. Like anything truly worth doing, it’s been difficult at times, but it was worth it at every turn. The year you gave to Claudia is one that we will never forget. The friends we made, the opportunities we were given, and the many hundreds of miles we traveled will be with us for the rest of our lives, and that is a gift that few men ever receive. Thank you. Now, it is my duty to report to you on the state of the Legion. Are we strong? Are we relevant? Are we secure in our future? I can confidently answer ‘yes’ to all of these questions. When I came into office on this stage one year ago, I said we had our work cut out for us. I think all of my officers can agree, this year has had its “ups and downs” I’d be dishonest if I didn’t tell you that I hoped for a stronger finish in membership. I know all of my officers agree. We fought to stop the bleeding and stop this downward slide we’ve undergone since 1994. Membership is the lifeblood of this organization. But let me expand on that. It’s not just your membership that keeps us moving forward. Are we strong? It is the service our membership gives to our Hoosier veterans, their families and their communities, that keeps us strong.
It’s the selfless service of our Legion volunteers that work at every level to improve the lives of those that wore the cloth of our nation during wartime that makes us strong. To state it simply, our membership changes lives. Ladies and gentlemen, together, “We Change Lives.” And if you believe anything less than that, you are selling yourself and our great organization short. I see it here on stage with more than $150,000 donated to our programs like Operation Comfort Warriors, The Riley Children’s Foundation, and the Child Education and Welfare Foundation over the past year. I see it when I visit my department staff and officers and they relay to me the successes they experience in their own towns, posts and districts. I see it in the volunteer spirit in all of you during my past year traveling countless miles, visiting posts across the state. Together, the Auxiliary, the Sons of The American Legion, and The American Legion Riders, I truly believe that we are strong. Are we relevant? Yes. Now as much as ever. We have reached out to young servicemen and women both in meeting their personal needs and in advising them of the threats to their future benefits. Last year, John Hickey and our Department Service Office brought more than $85 million back in veterans benefits to the Indiana economy alone. And, once again, we’ve picked up the torch in the legislative arena. Here in Indiana, we partnered with the next three largest veterans service organizations; the VFW, DAV and AMVETS, respectively. We aligned our legislative priorities together and pooled our resources to strategically advocate for our top veterans issues at the State Capitol, And we were successful. This year, Governor Mike Pence signed 13 veterans related bills into law. He stated he’d never signed so many bills into law in a single sitting. We met 6 of the priorities we set out to accomplish. A few of these include: Senate Enrollment Act 295 The Military Family Relief Fund This law opens the Fund to allow access to all veterans from all eras with or without children beginning July 1, 2016 and allows tax payers to

Leading Legionnaire Letters
We find ourselves in a time of transition. Change is inevitable, all you have to do is look in a mirror or see your grandchildren after a few months of being away. With children the changes seem to happen almost before your eyes. Adults are a bit subtler, but if it has been a few years since the last encounter, the change can be remarkable. I recently went to my 50th class reunion; some of my classmates
had really let themselves go! In the Legion family we are at the time of transferring command. We celebrate the accomplishments of the sitting commander and leadership team over the past year. I always marvel at the awards given, the great programs supported and the vast funds raised! As we bring this year to conclusion, we pass the torch, electing a new commander with great hopes and aspirations for the year to come. Our country is also in a time of transition as we continue the process of a presidential election. The new president will appoint cabinet members and Supreme Court justices who will have a major effect on the direction of our country
for years to come. With vast differences in the platforms, many are apprehensive about the direction our country will take. Our state’s governor’s race, vacant senate seats, and other elections raise further worries. Our economy is not helping us to feel secure as many watch investments disappear and the Cost of Living Adjustment is frozen. The British withdrawal from the E.U. has caused a downward spiral in the markets. The economies of Greece and Turkey along with countries embattled by insurgents are causing global destabilization. Acts of terror by radical Islamists around the globe spread fear and alarm. Our communities have been
greatly transformed by both legal and illegal immigration. Churches are shrinking and closing while differing religious expressions and houses of worship have vastly increased. How we identify ourselves is being called into question as the military and government continue expansion of what is acceptable behavior and identification. While our military continues in global conflict in ever changing places, we are shrinking and streamlining it to be “leaner and meaner” which causes many of our “old school” institutions like the American Legion to encounter many points of apprehension. Transitions always bring elements of insecurity, both
founded and unfounded. Yet change can also bring new directions of hope that lead to security. While our perspectives, modes of worship and understandings of Deity change throughout our lives and across our society, God still remains God and holds us securely in the palm of His hands. As we near God’s presence, anxieties melt away. Over a hundred years ago Fanny Crosby penned, “For I know, whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well.” May we still find comfort and security in knowing our God still does all things well! The fear of others lays a snare, but one who trusts in the LORD is secure. Pr. 29:25 (NRSV)
Well our convoy has come to the end of our trip. I must say, it’s been a wonderful and enjoyable journey. All the miles have been worth the long days and nights spent out
on the road. The total number of membership cards we were looking to haul into Commander Lowry’s convention was less than we wanted but we can say that we worked hard to get what we got. The year started out with the 8th District leading the way as they had done for the past few years. Then came the Fighting 4th around Christmas time with District Commander
Jay Hilliard at the wheel and drove them to the top to stayed there the rest of the way. After visiting every District a number of times, it was obvious who was going to battle to the very end. Thanks go out to the 7th for making a good run in their membership to show everyone that they were supporting their Candidate James B. May. I want to thank everyone in their efforts in making “New Members Pay Dividends” end
up so great. With 1,179 new members from February’s starting date to close of books, it was a fun race with reward moneys going to the 8th District winning $250, the 6th winning $250 twice and the 4th taking the last $250. But, the 6th took the big money, $1000, for their overall efforts to recruit the most new members. From the 8th in the south to the 1st in the north and from the 6th in the west and the
10th in the east to all of you in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th and the 11th that make up the middle, a BIG THANK YOU for all the great Hoosier Hospitality shown to me over the last year. And, last but not least, Thank You Cmdr. Larry Lowry for selecting me for your Membership Chairman. Thank God for all the many safe miles traveled by the entire team.
As I reflect on this past year and thinking of how I represented the Department of Indiana as your NECman, I will try to share again some of the ways I did that. I will first say that it has been an honor and I thank you again for electing me to this position. I have travelled many miles attending many functions on your behalf
preaching the word of the American Legion and raising money for our programs and Operation Comfort Warriors. Shortly after our 2015 convention we were on our way to Baltimore Maryland for our National Convention. Several of our members rode the bus and enjoyed the chance to know their fellow members better. I was in attendance at several meetings and one of the most significant resolutions to pass was the dues increase. Returning back to Indiana we had our NEC meetings and with Cmdr. Dale Barnett and several of our members we participated in the Awareness
walk at Fort Benjamin Harrison and a picnic at department headquarters. On Nov. 1, National Cmdr. Dale arrived for his official visit to Indiana. Several of our members joined the Commander on traveling the state visiting, walking and making communities aware of The American Legion and what we do. Commander Dale had the opportunity to greet the high school students and community of the hometown he grew up in and share with them his message. The Department made sure all the legislators of our state would have one of their
constituents visit them on the hill when we travelled to Washington DC and made available a bus for the delegation to travel. I received nothing but positive comments from those that chose to take advantage of this opportunity and I know it made a difference to our legislators visited. Several of our officers had the opportunity to go to Springfield, Ill., for the Lincoln Pilgrimage and had a wonderful time. Our National Vice Cmdr. Dave Gough visited the Department and a few of us were able to accompany him on his visit to several of the Districts.
Alternate Jerry and I look forward to representing the Department again in 20162017. If we can be of any assistance, please let us know. In closing, I give thanks for the leadership of Cmdr. Larry Lowry. I give thanks for the opportunity to know, share special time, conversations, laughter and tears with an awesome First Lady, Claudia. My life has truly been enriched beyond measure for having Cmdr. Larry and First Lady Claudia in my life. Thanks be to God.
Centennial program. Keep in mind that the time is approaching when the Legion will be showcasing its 100 years of history and for those who haven’t started planning, don’t miss the boat. As many walked by our table, we asked convention attendees, the number of their Posts and showed them the webpage that lacked that number. Then we gave the ‘sales-talk’ encouraging them to find someone at their post to create a page for the National site. Hardcopy literature explaining the program and details of how to start were distributed. It
will only take someone a few minutes to create a standard page. I hope this column will act as a reminder to those who did stop at our table and follow through. We need to add more than the ten post webpages that are already there! It doesn’t happen often but here is an offer that most leadership at many posts will not be able to pass up. I will create for you and your post a webpage on the National’s Centennial website at: www.centennial.legion.org. This will consist of the name of your first commander, the date of your permanent charter, a
photo (if I can find one) and some other basic information. Once created, additional information (the department HQ has much data) could be added later by a designated post member. The only thing that I require is communication from you that you want me to do it! Send email to jhovish@ comcast.net or contact the department for further details. My time as department historian has been enjoyable but all good things must come to an end. I have informed Department Cmdr. James B. May that I am stepping down from that position. As of
this writing, the Department Historian’s office is vacant but I am sure that a qualified Legionnaire will soon be found. This appointed Department officer position is growing more important as we approach our 100th anniversary of The American Legion. And every post in Indiana has a story to tell its local community and the Department historian will assist in helping to bring forth that story. Each post in the Department has a story to tell. Let’s start working on it!
cooperation with others, including, post service officers, county veterans service officers, the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs, and our national appeals representatives. Each one of these entities combine as a veterans’ services “team.” The National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics reports 476,283 veterans living in Indiana. The American Legion veterans’ service office consists of 2 secretaries and 5 service officers. Our claims representation is not restricted to Legion members. The American Legion offers claims representation to all veterans plus their dependents. The “team” must therefore perform each of their duties well. If any team member neglects their
duties, veterans do not receive their earned benefits. Our veterans’ service team members have different duties and levels of expertise. The post service officer informs veterans about their benefits and where to find claims filing assistance. The county veterans’ service officer explains benefit requirements, advises what evidence is necessary to win benefits, assists veterans with completing claim forms, and helps veterans assign a claims representative. The American Legion department service officer helps make sure claims are complete, files claims with VA, tracks claims through the claims processing system, reviews VA decisions for correctness, provides advice concerning appeals, represents veterans at
hearings, and prepares formal appeal statements to the Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA) when necessary. Our National Appeals office presents appeals to the BVA, and, when necessary, represents veterans at hearings at the BVA in Washington DC. The Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs provides training programs for county veteran service officers and assists with state benefits. So, who would you guess is the most important link in the veterans’ claims process? It’s not the department service officer who reviews VA decisions, assists with appeals, and knows and applies detailed facets of VA law and regulations at the VA regional office. It’s not our national appeals representative who presents and
argues veterans’ appeals at the BVA in Washington DC. It’s not even the county veterans’ service officer who helps veterans complete their claim forms and gather supporting evidence. Although these positions are very important and VA would fail to grant many claims and appeals without their help, those service officers can only work claims and/or appeals if veterans know to file. The Legion’s volunteer post service officers are therefore the most important link in the veterans’ claims process. Without active post service officers, many veterans would not understand their earned benefits.
The 2016 Department Convention is now history. I sat with Laura Edwards, a staff member of The American Legion and a knowledgeable expert of Centennial preparations, at one of the exhibit tables promoting the National American Legion
Serving veterans is a team effort. Not one service officer or one group of service officers, by themselves, can serve veterans properly. The American Legion has a full-time staff of seven co-located at the Indianapolis VA Regional Office. We at the Department Service Office receive much credit for helping hundreds and thousands of veterans win benefits. This is true, but it’s not done alone. Successful veterans services requires partnerships and

DSO FROM PAGE 4 Essentially, many veterans would not know to file for their benefits or who to contact for claims filing assistance and/or representation. American Legion post service officers learn what benefits are available and provide that information to post members and veterans within their local community. Posts should allow their post service officers space in their newsletter for regular veterans’ benefits articles. Posts should also give their post service officers time at post meetings to discuss veterans benefit issues. If your post has an active post service officer, thank him or her and the post commander. If your post, however, does not understand the importance of having an active post service officer, please ask your post commander to help make that appointment. This will help more veterans receive the benefits they have earned.
has the veterans well being always first. Sons of the American Legion, Indiana Det. Cmdr. Chris Carlton is an outstanding person and leader. Thank you also for making myself and all of our Auxiliary members that travel on our trips with the Legion Family feel welcome. The Legion office staff has been great and is always there to help us in so many ways. I believe we had a great
year working as a true Legion Family. I am proud to say the Auxiliary final total donation for my project, Operation Comfort Warriors was $30,061.55. Thank you to everyone that made this possible. The donations this year for the Auxiliary total was $68,573.14. The additional funds raised were: Indiana Veterans Home $19,651.32, Payton Manning’s Children Chemo room $3,650, and
Auxiliary Emergency Fund $15,210.27. What a great year it has been for our veterans and the children. I wish the 2016-2017 American Legion, SAL and Riders Officers a great year. May God watch over and protect our Legion Family, our veterans, those serving now and those that will serve. Thank you for a wonderful year.
YOU for all of the support and participation this past year. It has been an honor serving the American Legion and the Sons of the American Legion of Indiana as Detachment Commander. Forging Our Future was our motto this year. I believe that I would like to take this we have done just that. We set opportunity to say THANK goals and accomplished each
of them. We finished in an alltime high for membership, 2nd in the nation for donations for CWF, and raising over $14,000 for the Indy Vet House. None of these were easy tasks. We accomplished all of this by uniting together and working with a purpose, remembering the reason why we belong to the Sons of the
American Legion. Now that we have proven to ourselves what can be done, we are going to continue moving forward for the betterment of our detachment and our organization. I am confident that the newly elected officers will be able to achieve even more than we did this past year.
What a wonderful year serving our veterans! It went by way to fast. Thank you American Legion for selecting Cmdr. Larry Lowry to serve this year. He
from the District Commanders
WOW!!! Where has the year gone? When I started this little venture I never thought I would be as busy as I was, but with a lot of help from the 1st District Legion Family we made it through. This year, one of our main goals was to get out in the communities that we serve. I truly believe that has been accomplished and will continue in years to come. Although membership in the district has been lacking, we have a plan which started at the Lake County Fair. We formed a committee made up of members of all four
branches of our Legion Family. The committee has been working hard to make our kick off for membership year 20162017 a great success. The Lake County Fair is one of the largest in the state and The 1st district will be there to answer questions, accept memberships, and get to know our fellow veterans and their families. We will be located in the Industrial Building Booth 75 from Aug. 5 – Aug. 15. If you're in the area please stop by and say hello. This is only the beginning as we are prepared to take this on the road throughout the 1st District to any and all town festivals. This is a great undertaking, but I’m confident that with the help of our Legion Family, we will prevail. With the year winding down, I need to thank a great many
people for all their hard work. I especially would like to thank my 2015-2016 district officers; Executive Vice Commander John Sarnecki Sr, Membership Chair Bill Palmer, Vice Commanders; Kevin Urbanczyk, Joe Simonetto, and Dan Mills. Also, Adjutant John Rassbach, Finance Officer Ernie Komasinski, Sgt. at Arms Dan Scott, Judge Advocate Gordy Minas, Service Officer Ray Guiden, Historian Bernie Tilges, and the best chaplin a commander could ask for Don Spiller. Thank You All from the bottom of my heart! I really want to say a very big thank you to Barb and Don Sales for all of your help throughout the year! Thank you to the entire 1st District for allowing me to serve as your commander.
I feel extremely fortunate to have been given the opportunity to serve as your 2nd District Commander. I have had so many great experiences throughout the year and got to meet and spend time with some wonderful people. I look forward to passing the gavel to the next 2nd district commander Robert Harding and I hope he enjoys the experience as much as I did.
I look forward to taking what I have learned this year and using it to continue to serve the American Legion and my fellow veterans. We have some great opportunities to get younger veterans involved. It is my hope that we can use this opportunity to help younger veterans to show them what the American Legion is all about and how we can help them. The selfless dedication of Department Cmdr. Larry Lowry and his late wife Claudia gave to The American Legion throughout the year is truly an example for us all to follow. I want to continue to
express my deepest sympathy to the Lowry family for their loss. Claudia was an amazing woman and my wife and I both feel fortunate to have known her and to have considered her our friend. The loss is felt deeply throughout the Second District. “There is a sacredness in tears. They are not a mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and of unspeakable love.” – Washington Irvin
Greetings from the Fourth! Oh what a year! I’ve met a lot of great Legionnaires, visited many posts across the state I had never been to, and got to know the members in my district a
lot better. I couldn’t have asked for better assistance than the department staff gave, and finding a better leader than Cmdr. Larry Lowry would be next to impossible. I’m very proud of the 4th for leading in membership for most of the year, and ending up in first place, but I’m still somewhat disappointed that we didn’t reach our goal. We can only work for the better this
Written on behalf of late 5th District Cmdr. Paul James by current 5th District Cmdr. Richie King Sr. My Fellow Legionnaires, as many of you may know Past District Commander Franklin Paul James lost his battle with cancer in July. His are big shoes to fill.

Greetings from the 6th District. The 2016 Department Convention has come to an end and my tour of duty as the 6th district commander has also ended. I would like to thank all of the district officers and Legionnaires who helped and supported the 6th District during this past year with membership, driving around visiting many of the posts and events inside and outside of the district. The friends that I made will be with me for the rest of my life and for that I thank you. I hope you will give our new District Cmdr. John Klepfer the same support. Membership did not end the way we would have liked, but we did end up coming year. I have in third place among the always been a firm districts and finished in believer that successful first place for recruiting the legion programs at the Post level leads to membership success. Now it’s time for me to put my worker-bee, blue cap back on and use my recent experiences to help the next generation of members continue to improve and grow the best veteran service organization in the world. Thanks to everyone, it’s been a great ride!
HOOSIER LEGIONNAIRE 3rd Quarter 2016
take this opportunity to thank all of you for your service and dedication to this organization. Without you there would be no American Legion nor 5th District. I’d like to thank Jerry Stevens and Past Department Cmdr. Ed Trice for carrying on in my absence, the district continues to be strong because of you. Thank you to my officers you’ve all been so helpful, keep up the good work. The district finished 4th in membership. We were represented well throughout our American Legion programs including Junior Shooting Sports, Boy’s State & Boy's
Nation Alex Flores, police, fireman & emergency medical services. I also want to thank all of our post service officers for taking time from their busy schedules to help our veterans through the Temporary Financial Assistance Program We also extend our condolences to Past Department Commander Lowry for the passing of his wife and Past Department and Fifth District Commander Dutch Bole for his passing as well. Stay Strong Mighty Fifth District... Thank you for your service. Acting 2015-2016 District Cmdr. Richie King Sr.
most new members. This upcoming membership year is going to be a challenge, and it’s going to take all levels post, district and department to get it done. It has been said the post is the combat unit of The American Legion. Whether our organization will stand or fall depends directly upon our post’s abilities to absorb American Legion policies and properly interpret them to the local people, and to successfully carry unselfish activities for the community, the state and nation, our organization will stand or fall. The responsibility given to the individual post has proved the source of our strength and growth. The post is to a large degree autonomous, restricted only by broad general guidelines carried in the national or department constitution and by-laws. The post must never forget, however, the implied responsibility it has to the veterans and the children of its community and to the
community itself. The post is The American Legion. Its duties are beautifully spelled out in the Preamble to the Constitution of The American Legion. Membership is by post only. Programs are effective to the degree the post adopts and puts their programs into operation. Mutual helpfulness becomes a reality through the comradeship, social activities, pride of achievement, and the service programs of the post. If we are going to be successful in our membership, our post officers are going have to be successful in caring out their duties and responsibility they took an oath to do. In closing our hearts and prayers go out to our Past Department Cmdr. Larry Lowry and his family in the passing of his lovely wife Claudia, who will truly be missed. Duty, Honor, Country No Sacrifice too Great

from the District Commanders
Wow, What a year! It's hard to believe that I was sworn in a year ago as 8th district commander for the great State of Indiana. I was honored to be selected to serve our district as commander and I am truly grateful to be given this opportunity to continue serving our country. From the National Convention in Baltimore, National Cmdr. Dale Barnett's Walk for Veterans, his statewide
tour through Indiana, Legion Day at the Colts football game, Christmas party, Lincoln Pilgrimage in Springfield, Ill., Close of Books at Indiana Veterans Home and working as a counselor at Hoosier Boys State, it has been quite a ride and I have made friendships that will last the rest of my life. I could not have asked for a better department commander than Larry Lowry to serve under. He is an amazing person and I was honored to serve under him and his team. His wife Claudia was a beautiful person and a great first lady. She will be missed by all. I was disappointed in
Greetings from the 9th District. I would like to thank all of our members in the 9th and the Department of Indiana. It has been a heck of a ride being your commander. The position has been challenging, but it’s been an honor to serve you. I thank God in heaven for choosing me. I would like at this time to reflect on the past year’s 9th District’s accomplishments. First, we’re proud of our own Milton Howard, 20162017 Southern Vice Commander. Milton served 2015-2016 as the 9th District Finance Officer and has for several years. The service and dedication that he’s shown to the
9th is impeccable. I wish Milton well. Secondly, our 20162017 District Cmdr. Roger Hilligoss is from Rising Sun Post 59. He is a gentleman in every sense of the word. I consider Roger a quiet giant, and I wish him well in his upcoming year. I ask each and every one of you in the 9th for your 100 percent support of Roger during his command year. Thirdly, I would like to share with you some of the awards received by the 9th District at the 98th Department Annual Convention; Educator of the Year in every category; Elementary, Middle School, and High School, won by Post 173 in Vevay, Ind. Congratulations Post 173! Post 464 in St. Leon won the award for alltime high in membership for the 68th consecutive year. I would like to say to Post 464 Cmdr. Jerry
our membership totals this past year and I'm sure all of the other district commanders and department officers are also. We put a lot of effort toward membership and it just didn't happen. I don't know for sure if it was the dues increase that hurt us but we took another hit this year in our membership. As Commander Lowry stated early in the year, we have to find a way to "stop the bleeding" to remain a viable organization. Our Veterans in the past have paved the way for us and we owe it to our future Veterans to push forward!
Since this is the last piece I’ll be writing for the Hosier Legionnaire as a district commander, I’d like to thank all of the Department Staff for all of the encouragement to complete a great year. I

Lafayette Post 492 presents the colors at close of books.
Commander’s Fund Announced Bridges Financial Aid Gap for Vets Department Cmdr. James B. May has announced his project for the year: a newly established emergency financial assistance program for veterans. The Indiana Veterans Emergency Transition System – iVETS – is still in the planning stages, but will be implemented within the next few months. The program, which will provide short term financial grants to veterans without regard to family status or membership, is designed to fill the gap in department assistance programs, the majority of which are unable to provide support to veterans without children in the home. “Our department staff receives too many calls from veterans that fall between the gaps of our American Legion programs,” said Cmdr. May. “Currently, all of our emergency funds are only available to veterans that have children in the home. If you’re a veteran without children, or your
children have grown and moved out, we did not have the means to immediately help. This will change that. This will fill the gap and allow us to extend help and aid to all veterans, regardless of whether or not there are children in the home.” Seed money for the program was generated by net proceeds from the raffle of two 100th anniversary pistols but the total was insufficient to launch the grant program. However, Cmdr. May’s decision to make it his project has put iVETS on the fast track. “It is now up to you and the entire Legion Family to support this long-overdue initiative,” said Department Adjutant Hugh Dagley. “There will be plenty of opportunities during the year, and we encourage you to make iVETS a priority as you, your post and your district plan your giving for this year.

The young man who came to immediate aide was trained in lifesaving techniques and immediately took control of the situation. He quickly assessed the situation, checked vital signs and began to administer rescue breathing and chest compressions until emergency medical technicians arrived.”

Plainfield Correctional Post 198 Focuses on Legion Programs Story by John Crosby In many ways, the Legionnaires of Post 198 hold much in common with the more than 400 other posts across Indiana. They hold meetings, donate thousands to Legion programs, support their local Girl Scout troop, and create scholarship opportunities for local high school students They’re a small post, just 13 members. They’re a new post, just two years old. However they’ve donated more than $5,000 so far this year alone. They’re dedicated. They meet on a weekly basis to discuss their business and they do so with a purpose. There is one major difference between Post 198 and most other posts in Indiana. Every member of Post 198 is incarcerated. They’re all inmates at the Heritage Trails Correctional Facility in Plainfield, Ind. While correctional facility posts can be a controversial topic, one thing is certrain; the Legionnaires of Post 198 are active in making a difference for the community outside their walls. They don’t allow their incarceration to diminish their spirit of selfless service ingrained in them during their service to the nation. In a way, Legion membership allows retribution for past transgressions. Their combined efforts in creating a positive impact on their community is therapeutic. It gives the Legionnaires of Heritage Trails Post 198

something to be proud of. “It gives me a reason to get up every morning,” said Post 198 Cmdr. Christopher Hahn, a Post 9/11 Marine Corps. Veteran serving time for his first offense. “It gives me a sense of purpose, something to look forward to.” Hahn is the third commander of Post 198 since its inception on May 28, 2014. A high attrition rate is expected as inmates at Heritage Trails are first-time, nonviolent and short-term offenders. But motivated veterans, often times Post 9/11 veterans, are there to take up the reigns and keep their programs moving forward. The post is dedicated to a local hero, the late Staff Sgt. Richard Blakley of Plainfield. Blakley was a frontline medic killed in action on June 6, 2006 by small arms fire while on patrol in Al Khalidiyah, Iraq. He was assigned to the Indiana Army National Guard’s 738th Area
Support Medical Company in Monticello. Hahn had been presented the Purple Heart Medal from Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels after surviving wounds suffered from enemy sniper fire prior in that same deployment. “He truly loved being a medic,” said step-father Don Schauwecker of Blakley. “He loved to visit with the children in the neighborhoods they patrolled. They called him “doc.” He would carry Pop Rocks and Cheerios. He would pay for medicine for the locals out of his own pockets. It made him a target.” Schauwecker said he feels it’s an honor Post 198 chose to serve in his namesake. “I think he’d be proud of his fellow veterans working to get back on the straight and narrow,” he said. “We are honored they thought of us.” The Legionnaires of Post 198 place a high priority on

community outreach. Their goals are set well beyond the means their meager correctional facility wages allow. Heritage Trails staff were generous in allowing Post 198 to place large orders for food from local restaurants and supermarkets. The Legionnaires often purchase $6 roasted chickens from Walmart and sell them to the other inmates for $12. Inmates are willing to pay these marked up prices as it provides a nice alternative to the familiar chow served at the facility. This system has allowed the 13 members of Post 198 to donate thousands to their community. Recently, they donated $1,000 to local Girl Scout Troop 1111 for their cookie sales fundraiser. They’ve paid for and sponsored one boy and one girl to Hoosier Boys State and Girls State. They’ve donated more than $8,000 since their humble beginnings two years ago on programs like Operation Comfort Warriors, The National Emergency Relief Fund, and the Child Education and Welfare Fund. In addition to community outreach, the Legionnaires of Post 198 re-invest into the Heritage Trails facilities, improving the quarters and quality of life for the inmates and their families. “This place can be intimidating to the children and families that visit,” said Kathy Kynard with the Indiana Department of Workforce Development and Legionnaire at Avon Post Post 198 Cmdr. Christopher Hahn at Heritage Trails Correctional Facilities leads a post meeting at the 145. “Children are 50% more likely to become involved in Heritage Trails Correctional Facility in Plainfield, Ind.

the criminal justice system if a parent is an offender.” Recognizing this, Post 198 donated $1,000 to improve the Heritage Trails visitation room to help create a warmer environment for the families and children that visit the inmates at Heritage Trails. Their donations saw new paint and murals for the walls, and toys, pens, pencils, coloring books for the children. “This is the Legion in its truest form,” said Kynard. “They don’t have to worry about supporting a building fund. There’s no bar, no pulltabs, no alcohol, there are no distractions. They truly focus on the Four Pillars.” Kynard said she believes that posts sets an example. As the Legion reaches out to our newest generation of veterans, we must get back to our original core values; service to our communities service to our families, and service to our veterans. “For some of these incarcerated members, the Legion is all they have,” said Department Cmdr. Larry Lowry. “They’re passionate about what they do. Soon, these members will be released back into society. I hope our traditional posts within their respective communities welcome with open arms and help them successfully re-integrate and rehabilitate. Because that is what it’s all about; supporting our veterans and their families. Letters to Post 198 can be sent to: Richard A. Blakley Post 198 P.O. Box 6004 Plainfield, IN 46168

“Everyday the Department receives calls from distressed veterans in need of assistance,” said Department Cmdr. James B. May. “Many times, we have to turn our fellow veterans away, simply because they do not have children in the home, as all of our emergency relief programs require this standard.
