OUR MISSION
The American Legion, Disabled American Veterans (DAV), Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), and the National Guard Association of Indiana (NGAI) represent a united voice for all Hoosier veterans and their families. Through our collaborative efforts of the Big Four, this website serves as a platform for Indiana's veterans to communicate their concerns and advocate for positive change with local elected officials, enhancing the quality of life for veterans across the state.
Empowering Veterans: Your Voice, Your Change
The veterans community is extraordinary, facing distinct challenges that impact every phase of service, from Active Duty and Reserve members to retired Veterans. Important areas like healthcare, taxation, education, benefits, and support for homelessness and mental health are part of the daily experience for Veterans and their families.
Your voice matters. By speaking up to our local elected officials, you can help shape the future and drive positive change. This website is your resource to make your voice heard and advocate for the betterment of our community.
