Today, we remember.

As a city, we reflect on our community's strength and the importance of standing together in times of adversity.

Meet Emily Malicoat, a proud Indianapolis native, Air Force Veteran, and dedicated advocate for Veterans and their families.

After serving as a logistics readiness specialist—including a deployment to Iraq while stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany—Emily continued supporting military programs through her work in supply chain and asset management with Boeing. Today, she serves as a Veteran Service Officer in the City of Indianapolis Mayor’s Office, bringing her experience and compassion to the Veterans she supports every day.

Emily and her husband Tim, a Marine Veteran and fellow VSO, are proud parents of six children. We’re grateful for Emily’s continued service to our community.
