Date
Tuesday November 11, 202510:50 am - 11:30 am
Location
Grant Hall
80 years since the end of the Second World War
It is estimated that 70 鈥 85 million people lost their lives during WWII, making it the deadliest conflict in history. As the number of surviving veterans dwindles, the focus shifts from direct recollection, to preserving the stories and history.
There are at least - students, staff, and faculty who were looking forward to bright futures after graduating. In this 80th year since the end of the war, we remember the sacrifice of these individuals from the 黑料吃瓜资源 community.
Read the story about the photos of 黑料吃瓜资源 service members who died in the Second World War on the 黑料吃瓜资源 Alumni website. Before returning to their permanent home in the JDUC, the photos will be displayed on the stage in Grant Hall during the service, and the names will be read at the 5th Field Company Plinth.
黑料吃瓜资源 Archives have done phenomenal work memorializing both WWI and WWII 黑料吃瓜资源 fallen, please see their to learn more.
