We strongly encourage all chapters to start compiling a list of all Greek American veterans. You can report back to your chapter officers.

This Memorial Day, we are proud to launch an initiative to honor veterans from our Greek community who served in the United States Armed Forces.

Our mission is to identify and adopt the gravesites of veterans of Greek Americans, Greek immigrants, and Philhellenes (friends and supporters of Greece) who served our country. This includes those who served in times of war or peace, and those who were laid to rest recently as well as many decades ago.

While we will make a special effort to locate those from the early and mid-1900s who may no longer have family nearby, this initiative is meant to honor every veteran of Greek heritage.

We will place American flags at their graves and, when needed, respectfully clean and restore headstones as a sign of remembrance and gratitude.

No veteran should ever be forgotten.

If you would like to volunteer, help identify gravesites, or be part of this meaningful effort, please reach out. Together, we can ensure their legacy lives on.

Happy New Year from all of us in Hoosier District 12. Wishing everyone a healthy and happy 2026.
