Where History and Heroes Meet
INDIANAPOLIS WORLD WAR II ROUNDTABLE - ERNIE PYLE CHAPTER
Our June 18 Road Trip to Evansville was officially cancelled as of June 12, 2022.
Sometimes changes to plans happen and this is the case with our long-planned and anticipated road trip to Evansville, Indiana. Due to both the large expense to hold an event there and to the limited number of members who sent an RSVP, your president and vice-presidents concluded this was not in the best financial interest for our organization. A couple board members will however go to visit and record stories of the veterans we had planned to hear at the museum and share at a later time.
-Charles Allen Holt, D.O., President, WWII Roundtable
