As Memorial Day nears, we profile three Rochester alumni who made the ultimate sacrifice.
几乎从 网赌论坛有哪些 成立于1850年, 有一些学生, 教师, and staff have who have lost their lives while serving in the US Armed Forces. The legacies of those who died are etched across the River Campus as lasting tributes:

- 老兵纪念树林, located near the stairs leading up to Wilson Quadrangle, honors University alumni killed in wartime since World War I.
- 在莫雷大厅, the University’s NROTC offices feature the 维克多Ohanesian Midshipmen Training Room and the 托马斯·金66年 Wardroom. Ohanesian was an assistant professor of naval science, and King was a student-athlete and NROTC battalion commander. Both were killed in the 越南战争.
