From The Indianapolis Star, Friday, November 12, 1920: Hardy uniformed veterans waving flags braved freezing weather last night as they marched in formation to the Statehouse where they joined a great crowd that thronged every available inch of space inside the flag-draped Capitol to hear patriotic speeches celebrating Armistice Day. Over the speakers’ platform, flanked on one side by the Stars and Stripes and on the other by the official banner of the American Legion, hung the Blue and Gold Indiana flag shown for the first time since the legislature authorized it. In a place of honor, rested the stone block taken from the bridge across the Marne at Chateau-Thierry where American soldiers and marines pushed back the German advance. The program, under the auspices of the American Legion, commemorated the second anniversary of the end of the Great War.
