Volunteers Needed

The Navy Times reports that the State of Indiana is planning to close a site dedicated to the memory and career of famed World War II war correspondent Ernie Pyle. This is a perfect time for the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars to come forward and raise the money to keep the site open.

I remember reading Pyle's books as a kid, and they were great. He spent most of his time with the enlisted men; his writing showed the war from their point of view. It would be a shame to lose this trove of historic material.
