| SUPPORT "OPERATION UPLINK" |
Our VFW Military Rites Unit is sponsered
and regulated by Post 1152 and Post 8035. We are comprised of members from various veteran's organizations in our area. These
members are all volunteers who believe it's an honor to pay tribute to their fallen comrades. The Military Rites Unit asks
for no monetary payment for this service. Every veteran of the U.S. military has a right to this service. However, if you
would like to make a donation to help pay for uniforms and equipment it would be greatly appreciated. We pride ourselves by
having one of the best units in Indiana. In 2003 we provided services for 186 funerals. This number does not include flag
raising ceremonies, school visitations, church ceremonies, color guards, or the many other services provided by our unit.
Many of our volunteers are retired, but their service to the VFW and their fallen comrades has become nearly a full time job.
If you have a need for our services, please ask your funeral director. He will in turn contact Steve Heronemus at 765
457-6803, Fred Fisher at 457-1933, or Bob Larsen at 453-9532. If no answer call VFW Post 1152 at 452-1521. You will need verification
that your loved one was a veteran such as a DD214 form. Your funeral director can obtain verification and a flag. We strive
to provide services for all "local" veterans. In some cases we'll provide services for fallen veterans from surrounding counties
if our very busy schedule permits.

Community Services...
Our Military Rites Team provides more than funeral
services for our fallen veteran comrades. We also provide color guards, flag folding ceremonies, flag dedications, and flag raising
ceremonies for schools, churches, and other non-profit organizations. These services are also free (first come, first serve).
If your organization is a business that earns a profit,
we do ask for a donation for our services.
WELCOME HOME VETERANS!
VFW Post 1152 will pay dues for all
qualified military personel and returning veterans. This includes qualifying Reservists and National Guard personel. Please
