Indy 500 Festival Princesses Honor Vets

Indy 500 Festival Princesses Honor Veterans

Memorial Day Weekend is always special in Indianapolis, honoring fallen veterans and hosting the largest one day sporting event in the world, The Indianapolis 500.

In recognition of those who served, Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care coordinated and sponsored the visit of eight Indianapolis 500 Festival Princesses to Richard Roudebush VA Hospital in Indianapolis.

The event was suggested by Princess Emily Schaefer, daughter of Seasons Hospice Chaplain Neil Schaefer who secured the commitment of her fellow Princesses for the visit.

The Princesses met with several veterans who were patients at the hospital, took photographs with them and thanked them for their service. The Princesses also left each Veteran with a small token of appreciation: a small checkered flag to commemorate the 97th running of the Indianapolis 500.
