Mt. Prospect Area Veterans
Welcome to the Mt. Prospect Veterans blog. Here we will discuss information about military veteran’s events and information that we hope will be both interesting and provide value to you.Thursday, March 5, 2009
The Veterans Forum will present a program on the USS Franklin CV-13 during the Battle of Okinawa on its 64th anniversary, March 19th. On that fateful day 724 shipmates lost their lives and another 265 were wounded during this intense battle.
Our comrade Tom Leo was a crew member who went through that hellish ordeal and is here to tell his story. In addition, we have actual news film footage of the battle and the heroic efforts of the those who fought to save their shipmates. This will be a very interesting discussion and one that you can not afford to miss.
No reservations necessary. Starts at 7:30PM at the Arlington Heights American Legion Post located at 120 N. Douglas.
