Default Ernie Pyle Day.

One more salute: National day sought for Ernie Pyle | Albuquerque Journal

Seems like a very good idea to make an Ernie Pyle Day.

Ernie Pyle was an amazing yet humble man. As a war correspondent he insisted on staying in the foxholes or other "accommodations" with the troops, not the brass. The home in which he resided in Albuquerque, New Mexico was turned into a public library branch not long after his death in the Pacific. Overview - Ernie Pyle - LibGuides at ABC Library The old main public library there has a display containing his portable typewriter and other artifacts. Ernie Pyle at Home — City of Albuquerque
