Gov. Mike Braun Shows Appreciation for Indiana National Guard Stationed in D.C.

INDIANAPOLIS - Today Governor Mike Braun showed his appreciation for the Indiana National Guard soldiers stationed in Washington, D.C. with a visit and fresh doughnuts.

"The Indiana National Guard is always ready to answer the call, and today I expressed my gratitude for their service to make our nation's capital safer. Indiana is proud of the men and women of the Indiana National Guard for their service to our state and country." - Governor Mike Braun

The Indiana Army National Guard has 300 Soldiers deployed to Washington in support of President Trump's "D.C. Safe and Beautiful" Mission, part of a broader federally-funded effort to assist local law enforcement with public safety and crime reduction in the nation's capital.

Governor Braun is in Washington for the National Governors Association Winter Meeting, the largest annual meeting of America's governors, where he will share his work to make life in Indiana more affordable, facilitate more jobs with higher wages, and ensure public safety for Hoosier families.
