By Mary Ann Wyand

Courage. Patriotism. Faith. Greenwood native Teresa Maude demonstrated uncom- mon courage, fervent patriotism and unwavering faith Wyand MaryPhoto by Ann when she spoke on behalf of her late husband, Lt. Gen. Timothy J. Maude, during the Indianapolis 500 Festival’s annual Memorial Day ceremony on May 24 on Monument Circle in Indianapolis. Last year, her husband agreed to present the keynote address for the solemn ceremony honoring enlisted men and women who died while serving the United States in 11 wars. But on Sept. 11, the Indianapolis native and Army deputy chief of staff for personnel was killed when terrorists forced American Airlines Flight 77 to crash into the Pentagon. “This nation may bend, but it will not break,” Teresa Maude told a large crowd of veterans and civilians gath- ered for the 45th annual memorial service outside the his- toric Soldiers and Sailors Monument. “I want to say a special word to those families who have recently suffered the loss of a family member,” she said. “I know your pain. I know the journey that you have been on, and I applaud you for your courage, for your devotion, and for your ability and your determination to be here today.” Teresa Maude lives in Washington, D.C., where she has been actively involved in U.S. Army family support pro- grams for more than 30 years. She has received a number of honors, including the Patriotic Civilian Service Award. “I’d especially like to thank those of you currently serving in uniform, who every single day know what it is like to defend this nation,” Maude said. “I also want to Indiana Gov.
