The Central Pennsylvania World War II Roundtable will hold its monthly meeting on Thursday, Dec. 7, at 7 p.m. at Grace United Methodist Church, 433 E. Main St., Hummelstown. Two World War II veterans, Crp. Benjamin Berry, age 100, and Pfc. Jacob Ruser, age 98, will speak. They recently served as grand marshals of the 2023 Philadelphia Veterans Parade and Festival.

Berry served with the 3rd U.S. Army, landing on Omaha Beach, on July 28, 1944. His unit fought in the Battle of the Bulge and helped liberate Dachau Concentration Camp. Ruser landed on Utah Beach on D-Day, serving as a combat medic. Fighting from Normandy to Belgium, his unit served in the Battle of Hurtgen Forest from September to December of 1944, during one of the bloodiest battles of World War II.

The meeting is open to the public, and no registration is required. Additional information can be found at http://www.centralpaww2roundtable.org or join the livestream on the YouTube channel Central PA WWII Roundtable.
