Former State Sen. Phil Boots, left, was part of the recent ceremony that honored Hoosier and World War II War correspondent Ernie Pyle in Dana, Ind. Boots and the Newport American Legion, the Cayuga American Legion, volunteers from the Ernie Pyle WWII Museum, students from North Vermillion High School and others  took part. Pyle was killed by enemy fire on April 18, 1945. This was the 80^th anniversary of his death – and later this year will mark the 80^th anniversary of the end of World War II.  Boots is a member of the Ernie Pyle WW II Museum Board of Directors.
