I had the privilege of spending time with Hoosier veterans during Ivy Tech Community College’s Veterans Day celebration last Friday. I also attended an open house at RecycleForce in Indianapolis to honor our Hoosier veterans and celebrate its new facility.

We are forever grateful for the service and sacrifice of our veterans.

For 200 years, Hoosiers in Madison County have helped build America’s middle class at home and defend our freedoms abroad. I enjoyed celebrating Madison County’s bicentennial last Friday at the Paramount Theater in Anderson. The best is still to come for this county and its people.

Honoring Hoosier Civil War Veteran Frederick Knefler

Ahead of Veterans Day, I spoke on the Senate floor about the life and legacy of Hoosier General Frederick Knefler, the highest-ranking Union officer of Jewish descent during the Civil War and an instrumental leader in the construction of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Indianapolis.

In my remarks, I praised Knefler and all Hoosier veterans for their service and commitment to freedom’s cause. Click here or above to watch my floor speech.

On Tuesday, hundreds of thousands of Americans from across the country came to Washington for the March for Israel. I enjoyed spending a few minutes with Hoosiers attending this important event. We talked about the importance of bipartisan congressional support for Israel and opposing antisemitism. 

I stand with the people of Israel at this critical moment.

Last week, the Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution I authored with Senator Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) condemning Hamas’ brutal terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, demanding that it immediately release all hostages, and calling on the United States to lead a global effort to free all hostages. It is estimated that Hamas is holding nearly 240 people hostage including children, women, seniors, and American citizens. The United States must continue to pressure Hamas to release all innocent civilians.
