This is the first meeting of the 2017-18 season, and will be a special
meeting.  This meeting will have a very special program, and a program with
new relevance!  Through a special arrangement, we will be presenting the
documentary film "USS Indianapolis:

The Legacy".  This 98 minute film presents the story of the greatest sea
disaster in U.S. Navy History, told for the first time by only the men who
lived it. In the most top secret Navy mission of World War II, the crew of
the heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis delivers components of the atomic bomb to
Tinian island. Four days later, two Japanese torpedoes sink the ship in the
Challenger Deep, triggering an epic tale of survival. For five days, the 880
men who make it into the water battle searing sun, thirst, hundreds of
sharks-and ultimately each other. Just 317 survive-only to band together
again in a fifty-year fight to clear their captain's name. Set to a soaring
original score, this incredible story unfolds with rare WWII footage,
previously unpublished photographs, and new footage from one of the last
WWII-era heavy cruisers still afloat. USS Indianapolis: The Legacy shows us
that through courage and faith, ordinary men can survive the crucible of
nature, and emerge extraordinary heroes.

 

You don't want to miss this opportunity to see this special film, especially
in light of the recent discovery of the wreckage of the USS Indianapolis!

required.

 

Hope to see everyone there!

 

73,

Ken, KJ9B
