  250th Anniversary Medals
Posted by: JacobVink - 08-17-2021, 09:01 PM - Forum: America's 250th Anniversary - No Replies

Compatriots,

I have recently been in communication with the National 250th Anniversary Committee regarding the Bronze, Silver, and Gold 250th Anniversary Medals being awarded in the run up to the semiquincentennial. I would like to share some additional information and clarify some of the language that is on the medal application and points sheet. 

Any public event is eligible to count towards the medal, however it is necessary that there be some clear recognition of the 250th Anniversary for the event to be counted toward the point total. I was given some examples of ways to recognize the anniversary including the display of the 250th flag (available from the National Society), inclusion of the 250th Logo on any handouts of information from the event, making mention of the anniversary during the program, etc. As long as the 250th is recognized in some fashion, an event may be counted. If it isn't, the event cannot count. 

As an example: 2021 participation in the Shoals Catfish Festival Parade or the Gosport Lazy Days Parade in which the Color Guard carried the flag would count toward the medal. The Color Guard participating at Conner Prairie this year on July 4 would not be an eligible event as we made no clear recognition of the anniversary. 

Given that all compatriots have until 2033 to accumulate points for the bronze, silver, and gold medals, I'm optimistic we can have Indiana well represented among those earning the awards throughout the 250th celebrations. 

Very respectfully,

Photo St. Clair's Defeat - 230th Anniversary
Posted by: mingusboodle - 08-16-2021, 12:24 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (2)

Is anyone interested in taking a trip to Fort Recovery this Autumn?

On 4 November 1791, the United States Army suffered one of their worst defeats in history near the present-day Indiana/Ohio border.  The infantry and militia under General Arthur St. Clair were conducting a punitive campaign against the Native Nations in the region, when those nations- led by Little Turtle and Blue Jacket- decided to bring the campaign to a premature conclusion.  70% of the U.S. force and support personnel were killed on site, many of them Revolutionary War veterans.  The overall casualty rate was more than 97%, among the worst in U.S. Army history.
 
General Anthony Wayne would later build Fort Recovery at the site of St. Clair's defeat.  The battle is largely forgotten, except among military historians.

The Fort Recovery museum is planning a battlefield walk on Sunday, 24 October 2021, to commemorate the 230th anniversary.  It is a two hour walk led by historians.  This might be an opportune time to visit, but we must register for the event, and no one has yet been able to tell me how to register.  If we have a group that would like to attend, I could let them know we're coming.  We could also pick another date and simply explore the area on our own.

  Appointment of Americanism and Flag Recognition Chair
Posted by: jwjone - 05-21-2021, 09:36 AM - Forum: President's Message - No Replies

I would like to announce two items of Committee News:

  1. Our Special Committee "Americanism and Flag Recognition" has been separated into two distinct committees.  They are called (obviously enough) "Americanism" and "Flag Recognition."
  2. The Committee Chair for both committees will be Kevin Cullen of the William Henry Harrison Chapter.  He can be contacted at:  irishhiker@aol.com
My goal for Kevin and the Americanism committee is to focus our State resources on assisting Chapters with strong support for Youth Programs and Community Service.  I will ask Kevin to forgo a State "Americanism" accounting, and instead focus on working with Chapters to set up a program to track community service hours, donations, and Youth Program events.  Our goal is to give back to our communities and provide educational resources, our time, and our donations.

I would like to thank George Frantz for his years of service on this committee and welcome Kevin Cullin to the State Leadership Team.

Jeff
