Thank you for your service!

Horatius Banner

Buffalo: the bison represents those who labor hard to defend the civic project- promoting peace and prosperity for generations to come

Plow: the plow represents American civilization- our hearth and home

Dipper: both strive toward the big dipper- representing the common destiny and transcendental ideals we share as Americans

The VA's mission to "care for those who have served" uses multi-stakeholder programs such as Vetpark to reach veterans in local communities—especially rural areas like much of Indiana.

some 2026 VA reintegration goals:

Expand therapeutic recreation and adaptive sports access to support veterans’ physical recovery, emotional resilience, and social reconnection.
Strengthen housing stability through supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and coordinated case management that anchors veterans during transition.
Advance suicide‑prevention efforts by expanding early‑intervention supports, community partnerships, and wellness‑based programming that reduces isolation and strengthens protective factors.
