Participants include the Veterans Administration, National Guard Family Programs, Small Business Administration and many veterans’ service organizations.
“I am pleased to provide a forum where members of the military, veterans and their families can obtain helpful information,” Lugar said. “I urge Hoosiers to take advantage of the many resources that will be available at Veterans/Retiree Appreciation Day.”
Lieutenant General Charles Stenner, Chief of the United States Air Force Reserve, will offer a keynote address at 12:30 p.m. during a luncheon. The cost of lunch is $12 and reservations are required. Attendees should RSVP to Phillis Gillespie at (317) 891-7177.
