Indianapolis


When I am on the road I love staying downtown and seeing the sites. You would never guess that Indianapolis was such a beautiful city. It is designed to really enjoy the downtown environment. There is a canal walk that runs by the Capitol and ends at the Baseball park. It is beautiful and there are many condos that are on the canal. It is a perfect place to jog or walk. There are paddle boats you can rent and paddle all along the canal. Very beautiful.





Along the canal was a very cool memorial. It is the Medal of Honor Recipients. It is the highest honor that is given to our servicemen. When you read the stories of their heroic actions you can not believe their huge sacrifice.



See if you can read this. It is pretty amazing. The order of importance is:

Purple Heart
Bronze Star
The Distinguished Flying Cross
The Silver Star
The Distinguished Service Medal
The Air Force Cross
The Distinguished Service Cross
The Navy Cross
The Medal of Honor

The heroic actions to receive the Medal of Honor is in most cases fatal to those who receive it.
