Indianapolis embraces a very important holiday in the midst of its racing festivities—Memorial Day. A wreath-laying ceremony, dedicated to the memory of all Hoosiers in all wars and conflicts who sacrificed their lives in defense of the nation, will take place while the names of those Indiana servicemen who have fallen within the past year are read aloud.
Also, a special military funeral horse-drawn caisson presented by the Military Department of Indiana Ceremonial Unit will pass, symbolizing Army soldiers who accompany the remains of the deceased to the gravesite. The rider-less horse represents the fact that the deceased had fallen as a warrior and will not ride again. A ceremonial flyover by the Indiana Air National Guard will conclude the service.
