From all of us at the Fallen Hoosier Heroes Memorial Board, we would like to wish the family members of our Fallen Hoosiers Season's Greetings and a better and happier New Year. We miss our heroes and we will never forget not only our Hoosier Heroes but all of the families who have sacrificed their loved ones to protect our freedom.

Rest easy, sleep well my brothers. Know the line has held, your job is done. Rest easy, sleep well. Others have taken up where you fell, the line has held. Peace, peace, and farewell...
This is video from the dedication of the Fallen Hoosier Heroes Memorial for Enduring Freedom on June 14, 2009. The memorial is located in Westfield, Indiana and several dignitaries attended the dedication and spoke in honor of the Hoosiers that have given their lives.
My husband, Dave Davis, took this picture a couple of days before we dedicated the "Fallen Hoosier Heroes Memorial for Enduring Freedom" on Flag Day June 14th of this year. His Step-Dad, CSM Donald Peed, who was a Vietnam Vet(serving 22 years in the Army) started this Memorial back in 2002/3 after what he had experienced from returning home from Vietnam. He had been spit on and called "Baby Killer" when he stepped off the boat in San Diego. He decided he wanted to do something for the families and friends of our Fallen Hoosiers after 9/11/2001.
The Fallen Hoosiers Heroes Memorial for Enduring Freedom is a memorial in Westfield, Indiana, dedicated to our bravest and brightest men and women of Indiana who made the supreme sacrifice after Sept 11, 2001 serving in our U.S. Armed Forces.
