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unfolds with rare WWII footage, previously unpublished photographs, and new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!

Hope to see everyone there!
