SAL Detachment of Indiana Squadron 451 recently celebrated its 25-year squadron charter anniversary on March 25 with an outstanding ceremony honoring our 25-year continuous members with dinner, certificates, and a new squadron shirt. The event was remarkable. Past National SAL Commander David Stephens was on hand with outstanding remarks. Michigan City, Ind., Mayor Duane Parry, who is a dual member proclaimed March 25, 2023, SAL Squadron 451.
In addition to the great 25-year ceremony, the squadron also invited all Vietnam veterans to attend, where they were honored with a free meal and acknowledged for their service during the Vietnam War conflict.
A truly remarkable event was held, with the American Legion Family present to watch and applaud the great efforts of SAL Squadron 451.
