The overall goal of East Penn Re-enactors Group is to tell the story of the American GI during WWII through living history. The creation of the Group was heavily inspired by the service of John Krall of Myerstown, PA and John Rittle of Lebanon, PA. John Krall is the grandfather of group founder Ethan Krall and John Rittle is the great-grandfather of co-founder Luke Newmaster.
