From the May 26, 2016, Indianapolis Star "WWII veterans to get victory lap in parade" by Maureen C. Gilmer.
Hoosiers still have vivid memories of their service.
Bob Pedigo (Army Air Corps), Irv Herman (Navy)and Bob Swift (Army) are among a dozen Hoosiers veterans of World War II who will be riding in the IPL 500 Festival Parade in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday May 28. More than a quarter million spectators expected. They will line up two-by-two in vintage Jeeps.
The parade is the day before the 100th Running of the Indy 500.
A Fitting Honor. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
