I recently spoke on the Senate floor about the bicentennial of Vermillion County, which celebrated its 200th birthday in February. In my remarks, I talked about the history of Vermillion County, its people, and the county’s contributions to Indiana and America.
The occasion of its 200th anniversary is a fitting time not simply to honor Vermillion County but to remember how much our small towns and our local communities matter and how essential the decency, kindness, and patriotism found in places like Vermillion County is to our Republic.
To the people of Vermillion County, we join you in the celebration of your bicentennial, we thank you for all you have done for our state and our country, and we look forward to the days ahead.
