  2. Our Mission Promote the needs of the military community of Indiana; this includes Veterans, AC Service Members, NG Service Members, Reservist, surviving spouses, retirees & their families. We encourage the IN Government to enact legislation recognizing the honor brought to the state and nation by their service. We communicate through personal contact, with the media and via website to government representatives of Indiana and other agencies as necessary. The vision is to make IN a veteran / military friendly state as recognized by IN’s ranking among all the states. Want IN to be top 10 positive. Seek state, local government, not for profit organizations, & private enterprises to think and act positively thinking of veterans and military first when undertaking action.

  3. Why we matter "ACE" organization. "A"dvocatein Indiana for Hoosiers and their families connected to our military.  We get things done at the Indiana General Assembly!  IE. ALL veterans to be eligible for The Military Family Relief Fund. "C"elebrateHoosier Heroes by promoting their successes.  The best & most visible example can be found at the Indianapolis Intl. Airport. TMVCI pushed to get the terminal and road leading into the airport named.  They designed, commissioned, raise all the money, and worked with the Airport Authority to erect a 7 foot tall bronze statue of Col H. Weir Cook.  "E" deals with educating the public about the contributions and needs of our military, veterans, retirees, surviving spouses and their families.  Many Hoosier (and travelers to Indianapolis) never heard of Col. Weir Cook; and they have no idea what he did for Indiana.  At the Airport on either side of the bronze Cook statue are waysides that tell the story-- educating all who see. Membership : $00.00

  15. Hoosiers aren’t coming home after serving • Our neighbors grew, we lost military & military retiree population • About 10,000 Indiana vets die annually. • Our military enlists about 5,000 from Indiana annually. BUT • Our veteran count has dropped about 7,000 to 8,000 annually. Therefore -- Indiana looses 2,000 to 3,000 veterans per year who do NOT die!
