The weather did not cooperate for an outdoor Liberty Plaza Fishers Veterans Day event, but the ceremony was moved indoors Thursday morning to the YMCA, where a good crowd gathered for the proceedings.

Senator Todd Young provided the keynote address, telling the story of a Civil War soldier from Bartholomew County, Indiana, that never received the glory he was due for playing a key role in the Union winning the war, by intercepting the war plans of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

El Ahlwardt did his usual masterful job of keeping the show moving along.  Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness handed out pins to all vets on hand and provided the closing remarks.

The Fishers Junior High School Choir provided the patriotic music, under the direction of Cindy Baney.
