Meet the Marines
at the Fairgrounds

The Marines who have been flying helicopters and storming buildings this week in Central Indiana will host a community day Thursday, June 12, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. The public will get a chance to meet the Marines and view their combat gear up-close during the event, which starts at 11 a.m.

Humvees and light armored vehicles will be on display. Four different Marine helicopters will land in the parking lot, dropping off troops. An infantry squad will demonstrate patrolling techniques, a Marine sniper will be decked out in camouflage and Marines will show-off their martial arts skills.
