July 22, 2010-by John Blair, valleywatch.net editor. The full moon is Saturday night. This picture was shot one month ago as a waxing moon rose over Marina Point and the LST 325.
The boat is a Landing Ship Tank, this LST that was similar to those made in in Evansville during World War 2. As such we use it as a tourist attraction to memorialize the War.
Lots of ground soldiers were transported on LSTs as they invaded places like Normandy Beach on D-Day.
We always celebrate war in Indiana as if it is a good thing. At least as long as we win.
