1st & 3rd Tuesdays of each month, 6 pm - 8:30 pm
Small Meeting Room, Lower Level
Come and join your fellow military history aficionados in a meaningful discussion about battles and other military events ranging from circa 1000 BCE up to recent military history. The first half of the discussion will focus on the facts of the battle and the second half will be dedicated to opinions and conjectures about the battle. Everyone will be given equal time to participate in both halves of the discussion. We will wrap up the roundtable with a vote on the topic for the next session. The three priorities for this group are having fun, learning new things, and hopefully developing new friendships. Registration suggested, but not required. Ages 16+.  *Topic will be The Battle of the Yalu River

1 pm - 3 pm in the Lower Level Parking Lot
