Indiana Spirit of '45

Since the founding of our organization in 2010 we have watched our "Greatest Generation" pass on at an alarming rate of one every ninety seconds and have strived to pass on their "Spirit" of Unity, Courage, Selflessness and Strength on to our state, community and nation.  At the same time we are also moving our focus to insure that our Korea, Vietnam, Cold War and those currently serving are being honored in the same way that our WWII generation is honored.

​

We now have five buglers in our area, ready and willing to sound Live Taps for Military Honors, memorial services, national holidays and private services where the sounding of Taps is authorized.  Looking towards our future we will be looking to add an Honor Guard to our organization due to the fact that so many surrounding communities are losing their Guards due to a lack of funds and/or volunteers.

Since December of 2012 we have carried on the weekly tradition of "Taps on the Square" to honor the lives, service and sacrifice of those who served and passed on the previous week.  The ceremony began as a call went out to buglers nationwide to sound Taps for seven days at seven o'clock to honor the memory of the twenty-six precious lives taken during the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.  On the last day a member of our community asked to have Taps sounded in memory of a loved one who passed...Taps on the Square began that evening and has continued every Friday evening, regardless of Weather Conditions.
