Res. 648 last night to designate August 3, 2018 as National Ernie Pyle Day in honor of native Hoosier and Pulitzer Prize-winning World War II correspondent Ernie Pyle. Ernie Pyle is one of the most beloved and respected war correspondents in our nations history, said Banks. His reporting consistently showed the courage and sacrifices of our nations service members during World War II. There is no better way to celebrate the legacy of this distinguished Hoosier than to dedicate a national day in his honor. Indiana Senators Todd Young and Joe Donnelly previously introduced a Senate version of the resolution. After studying journalism at Indiana University, Ernie Pyle, served as a correspondent in Indiana and later overseas during World War II. Beginning his career at La Portes The Daily Herald, Mr. Pyle would go on to receive the Pulitzer Prize for his distinguished reporting of WWII in 1944. During his tenure as a war correspondent, he worked alongside our soldiers in the field to produce work that properly commemorated a soldiers courage and sacrifice. ### Interested members of the media may contact Andrea Palermo at andrea.palermo@mail.house.gov. f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
