Dear friends and family,
I can't express how happy I am to receive the notice that I am going to be inducted into the Indiana Military Veteran Hall of Fame. This is such a great honor to be nominated and even more wonderful to be selected.
I would like to extend an invite to each of you to attend this event unfortunately it is not a free event. This will be a banquet type of event which costs $55.00 per person to attend.
I have attached the letter that I received informing me that I will be inducted.
I would love to see each and everyone of you attend but I will understand if it is not possible for you to make it.
If you do want to attend please let me know for I would like to book the tables for my guests to try and have everyone sitting at the same tables. We can work out the details on the money at a later date. Looking forward to hearing from you.
God Bless each and everyone of you and wish you all the best.
PonyTail Paul
Proud 101st Veteran
