Department Headquarters staff members will be released from duty at 3:30 p.m. today, March 26, 2012, to avoid the possibly heated emotions and rhetoric that may arise during a scheduled march to protest the shooting of 16-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida last week. Protesters have scheduled the march from the former Crispus Attucks High School Campus to arrive at The American Legion Mall in Indianapolis about 4:30 p.m. today. Legionnaires are encouraged to avoid the area immediately surrounding Department Headquarters during the event.

Welcome to the revised and revitalized Hoosier Legionnaire weblog. The author of the Blog will be the newly appointed Department Adjutant Hugh Dagley, who will post items of interest to Legionnaires and Legion Family Members throughout the day. Please encourage your fellow Family Members to sign onto the Blog regularly, and become members. All of us at yoru Department Headquarters look forward to keeping you informed on the big and little issues, as well as providing useful reminders and clarifications for you.

Visit often, please.
