Hamilton County Military Veteran Newsletter & Flyer

Hamilton County Military, Veteran Newsletter & Flyer

This Newsletter is a new idea we are working on and it will take all our Hamilton County Veteran Service Organizations and Officers cooperation to pull this off. The Hamilton County Veterans Corp is working hard to communicate with all of our Hamilton County Veteran Service Organizations to create this Newsletter and keep it going. The goal is to market their Posts to our whole community so everyone knows they exist, where they are, what hours they are open (to members and to the public), what goes on inside and the great things they do for their communities. We are reaching out to all media outlets to get this published and we are happy to say that the Hamilton County Reporter will be starting a monthly Hamilton County Veteran Community page! The Reporter link to their Paper online is https://readthereporter.com/DailyEdition/2024-03-23.pdf and in this edition we are on page 4. They will be running the Hamilton County Veteran Community page every Saturday. We are also working with the Current in all Hamilton County cities to create a column for our Military Veteran community as well! These monthly Newsletters/columns will branch out to cover each Posts Auxiliary, Sons and ALR units activities and events taking place in their communities. We will also start including the activities of all Hamilton County Military, Veteran organizations including the IDVA, our Stronger Veterans Stronger Communities Coalition and the Governor’s Challenge for preventing suicides.

Here are some of the items we have asked our Hamilton County VFW’s and American Legions to put on their Facebook pages to help market their Posts to their neighbors. So please do check their Facebook pages out for more up to date information.

  • What are the activities this week at my Post – there should be a monthly calendar for all to see
  • Is the Public welcome to come into the Post and if so, what days and times
  • Who are my Officers and how do I reach them
  • Is there a direct line to my Service Officer if I need help
  • What is the Menu and the hours of food service and is the public welcome
  • List the games being played, times and dates and is the public welcome
  • What are the special interests in our community and are there any charities we are helping
  • A possible way to include a feedback page

The printed Hamilton County Military Veteran Newsletter for Q 1 2024 here has QR codes for each Posts Facebook page so one just has to scan it with their cell phone and see their present activities, etc. The Cicero American Legion QR code takes you to their website & calendar – they also have a Facebook page but a QR code for it will not work correctly.

Here is the Hamilton County Veteran Service Organization Flyer that we will be getting printed to place in all Hamilton County businesses for all our residents to see and to have. The more we all know about the resources available here locally to address the concerns, issues we and our neighbors have, the stronger and more connected our community will be!!

Q1 2024 HAMILTON COUNTY MILITARY VETERAN COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER 

The Hamilton County Veterans Corporation is kicking off 2024 with a Newsletter covering Military, Veteran family activities here in Hamilton County. We are starting out with a Quarterly Newsletter, but if it needs to be published monthly, we will do that. This first one is to introduce our Veteran Service Organizations – County Veteran Service Officers, American Legions and VFW’s – who have a brick-and-mortar building within our communities.

Listed below are the Hamilton County American Legion and VFW Posts located in our neighborhoods. Every one of them needs our support to help them stay vibrant and alive to continue assisting and caring for our Military, Veterans, their families and our whole community! Each Post offers not only a Service Officer to assist our Veterans in filing claims or seeking financial help when needed, but they are always searching for ways to reach into their local communities to assist and donate their time and money to events, special groups, non-profits who also care for our neighbors. To continue doing all they do for our communities, they need our continued support by coming into their Posts and enjoying time there with friends and family. They are our local family-oriented Bar & Grill with food, drinks, games and plenty of space to host personal parties, or you may rent space for meetings or events to support local activities. Some Posts are open to the public every day while others are open on specific days for food, games, fun and they all look forward to serving you.

As of January, 2024, the Posts that are completely SMOKE FREE, inside, are the Carmel American Legion, Carmel VFW and Noblesville VFW. The Fishers American Legion allows smoking in their enclosed bar area, the rest is non-smoking. The Noblesville American Legion allows smoking in the small game room which is a separate building out front, the Post and meeting rooms are smoke free!! The Sheridan and Cicero American Legions still allow smoking in their Posts.

Hamilton County Stronger Veterans Stronger Communities Coalition On the Prevention of Suicide for Service Members, Veterans, their Families & Caregivers

The Coalition has been working with many different resources in Hamilton County for the past 2.5 years and are now teaming up with the IDVA to be the first county in Indiana to launch the Governor’s Challenge, a nationwide initiative for suicide prevention. The structure of The Governor’s Challenge helped us create our teams and projects to start implementing the Governor’s Challenge through grant dollars from the IDVA. We use the three Pillars of the challenge to guide our work – Identification, Connection, and Lethal Means and Safety – and we are currently putting together our Community Plan. We have been encouraged to think big with our ideas and include those organizations that currently serve veterans and bring in their ideas to reach into their local neighborhoods. We are also applying for a Planning Grant to create a 12 to 24 month Strategic Plan for Hamilton County. The Strategic Plan will include our Coalition working with many community partners to reach our Military and Veterans who are not connected, help them feel connected to their communities and further train everyone on lethal means & safety. More to come……
