One thing I have always noticed about Fishers is the way the city honors military veterans.  That includes the creation of the Fishers Armed Services Commission, established by the Fishers City Council.

That Commission will be in charge of the Veterans Day ceremony set for Friday, November, 10th, 11am at the Fishers YMCA on 126th Street.

This year’s guest speaker is Vice Admiral Terry M. Cross, U.S. Coast Guard, Retired. Cross served as Vice Commandant of the United States Coast Guard from July 2004 until June 2006. In this role, he was the U.S. Coast Guard’s second in command and the Agency Acquisition Executive. Cross previously served in several positions with the U.S. Coast Guard, including Commander of the Pacific Area, Assistant Commandant for Operations, and a deck watch officer aboard the Coast Guard Cutter McCulloch. After retiring from the Coast Guard in 2006, Cross accepted a position as Director of Homeland Security Programs with EADS North America (now Airbus North America), retiring in 2011 as the Vice President for Homeland Security Programs.

All are welcome to attend this free event.
