Central Indiana Chapter #259 Our Chapter President Tine Martin Sr. and other members renovated this trailer for the Veterans Day parade in Indianapolis on November 11, 2003. We presently have 80 Korean War Veterans enrolled in our Chapter including the Commander of the American Legion Post #470 which allows us to hold our monthly meetings there. We formed in August 2000 and have grown scientifically since then. (Thank you George Ellwood for letter and photos.)

In December the Chapter participated in the O’Connell Middle School Korean War Veterans Remembrance Day activities. The school and students conducted a Memorial function with the veterans. It was followed by a social in the school cafeteria. The Korean War veterans related their experiences and interacted with the students and teachers. The Chapter hopes to expand and continue participation in various school history classes and activities and thereby informing the younger generation of the Korean War and our experiences. (Thank you Kenneth E. Camell for letter and photos.) President Bush, and our military men and women. The American Legion and the Jr. , ROTC Color Guards joined us. The crowd was a real cross-section of the community. The old and the young, farmers and businessmen, vacationers and residents all gathered to sing patriotic songs, wave flags, and chants of “U. S. A.- U. S. A.-U. S. A.” were deafening. When Cunningham opened his remarks with the question- “Are there any Americans here?” the crowd answered with a thunderous roar and the flags and signs danced above the crowd. Needless to say, there was no coverage by the state and national media. Which should not be surprising. Russ Cunningham addressing a “Support the Troops” rally.

S.A. Rally in this seashore resort town on the following Sunday. The station -WGMD- was deluged with calls of support. The station made a few calls itself. One of the first was to Chapter #1 President Russ Cunningham. They asked if Chapter #1’s Honor Guard would act as Color Guard? The answer: Yes. Second, would Cunningham give a brief pep talk? Answer: You Bet! Three days later, more than 3,000 patriotic folks appeared, dressed in red, white, and blue, and carrying flags of all sizes and a multitude of signs of support for the U.S.A., Delaware National Guard Commander Maj. Gen. Frank Vavala congratulates Farrell, Koopman and Reeves. (Thank you Russ Cunningham for letter and photos.) May/June, 2004 Page 45
