USS Indianapolis comes to Indiana Military Museum Canvassers charged in fake voter registrations TO iniiiilf The monument to the USS Grayback, "The Gray Ghost," one of 52 U.S. submarines that were lost during World War II, is now part of the Indiana Military Museum, 715 S. Sixth St. The monument was in a sense rescued after the Heslar Naval Armory in Indianapolis closed.

When the Indiana Military Museum adds to its already extensive inventory of artifacts, the piece often arrives in, well, pieces, and without an instruction manual on how to properly fit them back together. That, however, is no matter to military history aficionados, and especially for museum founder and curator Jim Osborne. "Every young boy puts model airplanes, boats and tanks together (and) this is just doing it on a bigger scale," he said with a laugh as he pointed to a camouflaged Russian jet on the museum grounds at 715 S. Sixth St. "I remember putting that model together when I was 10 years old, so I was familiar with all the parts.

The only thing that gets complicated is when you get into the mechanical parts and the operation of these things. 'That's when we have to get the guys who have a knowledge of mechanics and have to do a lot of preparation or study." The most recent large item to arrive at the museum, the USS Indianapolis, came in three large, rust-riddled pieces that will require some "IP INDIANAPOLIS Twelve employees of a Democrat-linked group focused on mobilizing black voters in Indiana are accused of submitting fake or fraudulent voter registration applications ahead of last year's general election in order to meet quotas, according to charging documents filed Friday. Prosecutors allege that 11 temporary workers employed by the Indiana Voter Registration Project created and submitted an unknown number of falsified applications. According to a probable cause affidavit, a supervisor for those canvassers, Holiday Burke, was also charged, as was the group. Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said State Police found no evidence of voter fraud or voter suppression and that the charges against the workers arose from "a very bad, ill-advised business practice" of setting canvassers what appears to be a daily quota.

The Indiana Voter Registration Project's effort to register primarily black voters was overseen by Patriot Majority USA, which has ties to the Democratic Party, including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and former President Bill Clinton. Patriot Majority has denied any wrongdoing. Spokesman Bill Buck on Friday declined to comment. State Police began investigating the group in August after a clerk in Hendricks County near Indianapolis flagged about a dozen registration forms that had missing or suspicious information.

They said they'd set it up and foot the bill," Osborne said. 'We said, 'Absolutely' After the monument had been installed outside the museum proper, the submariners and museum officials got to talking about a larger submarine monument. That submarine veterans group, which has now folded into the United States Submarine Veterans then applied to the U.S.

Navy to get permission for the USS Indianapolis's release into IMM hands. Finally, around 2012, the navy sent the museum a letter saying that they'd work on getting the submarine over to Indiana but that it might take up to four or five years. Sure enough, five years later, the USS Indianapolis arrived in Vincennes, after a SEE ASSEMBLYPAGE A2 Pieces of the USS Indianapolis submarine are now in the possession of the Indiana Military Museum, 715 S.

to use the pieces to build a monument to submarines and those who served on them. "I think this is going to be a really neat thing when it's done," IMM founder and curator Jim Osborne said. But this time, the strategy to put it back together is a bit different. That's because the Los Angeles-class submarine, the third navy ship to be named for Indianapolis, will be converted into a submarine memorial to pay tribute to all the submarines and sailors that have been lost. The effort to erect a submarine monument at the museum took shape over 10 years ago, when the Heslar for Indiana's.

The U.S. Submarine Veterans of WWII organization was in charge of the monument and would host annual ceremonies there. But when the reserve station was closed and the group asked the city of Indianapolis to designate another site as its home, they were denied. "So they got ahold of us and asked if the museum would be Naval Armory, located on the banks of the White River in Indianapolis, was slated to close.
