A veteran, a person who is transgender, and a fighter. Even after his time was up in the army, he says when it comes to the President's push against people who are transgender in the military, there's one last battle left to fight. Life has its battles, Max Hedon, an army veteran knows that very well, but for him, he says the hardest battle was the one with himself. Hedon said,”I first came out as a lesbian when I was in the military, I thought that I just liked girls and that was it. After some solid deliberation and introspective in myself I realized I was actually transgender.” A journey to acceptance that proved harder once he enlisted. “I just got pushed to the side, I was ostracized, pushed to the side, and no one really tried to help me to see what was going on with that soldier,” Hedon said. A fight that Hedon, three years later, still says was worth fighting. “Serving in the military smoothed out my edges and I don't think i could have got that anywhere else,” said Hedon. Long after his time is up in the reserve, Hedon says one battle is still not won. “Where already they were teetering on the brink of ac- ceptance and non-acceptance they're saying 'well, the President, the Commander in Chief who is in charge of this allegedly says these things are a distraction, its ex- pensive, we're not going to allow it,” said Hedon. But no matter what, Hedon says this soldier is still ready for battle when it comes to equality for people who are transgender. Hedon says the military did not front the bill for any of his surgeries during transition. Eyewitness News reached out to the Office of the Secretary of Defense who declined to comment on the tweet. A spokes- person told us to contact the white house.

  • Annual Report Dear Friends and Supporters of Ability Indiana
    2017 Annual Report Dear Friends and Supporters of Ability Indiana, 2017 was the 41st year for Ability Indiana! This year, the Ability Indiana Annual Report will highlight some individual success stories that capture how individuals grow and benefit from the Ability Indiana Program. In addition, Indiana state agencies have continued to partner with Ability Indiana and you will find the letter from the National Guard of Indiana in this year’s report as an example of how this partnership works for all. Ability Indiana is especially proud of AWRC Industries / Post Masters, who this past year won the contract to provide print and mail services across 97 different State agencies, creating many new and well-paying jobs for persons with disabilities. You will find this program highlighted in detail as a part of this year’s annual report. With over 11 million dollars in program sales, Ability Indiana agencies and staff developed a strong set of Program evaluation metrics to gauge the performance of the Ability Indiana Program during 2017. We believe you will find the performance on these Program metrics and standards reflect very well on Ability Indiana in 2017. As we begin a new year, we thank all of our supporters for their numerous contributions that helped make 2017 a successful year for individuals who were able to work as a result of the Ability Indiana Program. We look forward to working collaboratively to enrich the lives of so many people throughout Indiana by creating the opportunity to work in every way possible. Steven C. Cook, President/CEO James M.
