april 7th 2011 marked the opening of

00:16.060 --> 00:18.460
the mosque Ataturk Museum . The museum

00:18.460 --> 00:20.627
is designed to preserve the history of

00:20.627 --> 00:22.460
the facility prior to becoming a

00:22.460 --> 00:24.404
training installation back in 2005

00:24.404 --> 00:26.293
indiana's agin it . General Major

00:26.293 --> 00:28.404
general are martin Umbarger served as

00:28.404 --> 00:30.627
guest speaker for the event . Being the

00:30.627 --> 00:32.793
military were all apart our heritage .

00:32.793 --> 00:34.793
We take great pride in the , in the

00:34.793 --> 00:36.904
history of the military's played here

00:36.904 --> 00:38.960
in our nation and and all of us feel

00:38.960 --> 00:40.960
that way . So so we really embraced

00:40.960 --> 00:43.190
that and I think quite frankly they

00:43.200 --> 00:45.940
felt our our sincere nous and that we

00:45.940 --> 00:47.940
were really wanting to do the right

00:47.940 --> 00:50.162
thing . We wanted to preserve all these

00:50.162 --> 00:52.329
wonderful artifact . This facility was

00:52.329 --> 00:54.440
an asset of the state and it helps so

00:54.440 --> 00:57.170
many individuals and families with

00:57.180 --> 00:59.730
disabilities . For so many years after

00:59.730 --> 01:01.730
Major General Embargo addressed the

01:01.730 --> 01:03.508
crowd , he presented plaques of

01:03.508 --> 01:05.230
appreciation to members of the

01:05.230 --> 01:07.063
community who contributed to the

01:07.063 --> 01:09.230
opening of the museum . I just want to

01:09.230 --> 01:11.286
say five years ago we sat around the

01:11.286 --> 01:13.360
table with these people and they

01:13.360 --> 01:15.582
invited us in and they said we think we

01:15.582 --> 01:17.804
may have some things here you'd like to

01:17.804 --> 01:19.860
keep for the next year . We were out

01:19.860 --> 01:22.027
here digging through everything now we

01:22.027 --> 01:24.193
can bring some of it back . We can all

01:24.193 --> 01:26.750
share in the history . Thank you . The

01:26.750 --> 01:28.750
