The 2018 Indianapolis Veterans Day Parade was held on Saturday, November 10th.  Hoosiers braved the frigid weather and biting colds to come out and honor our Nation's Veterans.  

The Veterans Day Council of Indianapolis, who sponsored the Veterans Day Parade, honored the Commander of The American Legion Department of Indiana, Rodney Strong, with a special award, presented by Senator Todd Young, to recognize his contributions to make this event a success.

The annual Veterans Day Service was held on the steps of the Indiana War Memorial and included greetings from  Governor Eric Holcomb and Mayor Joe Hogsett.

Immediately following the service, the parade began. More than 80 units march in the parade which began at Michigan and Pennsylvania Streets, moved south on Pennsylvania to New York Street, west to Meridian Street and finished at North Street. 

The Hoosier Legion was honored to have Mayor Joe Hogsett mark along side with us.  

Special thanks to everyone who came out to support this great event.  We will see you Next Year!!!
