A Note on Veterans Day

Hegeman Chapel, 1945-1946
Today is Veterans Day. At The Stony Brook School, we’d like to commemorate our Veterans.

During WWII, 435 alumni and students served in the armed forces. Twenty alumni died in action, some of whom enlisted in the military without graduating from Stony Brook.

There were two service banners that hung on campus, one in the chapel and one in Carson.
The following list used to be read on Veterans Day in chapel. Thanks to David Hickey for saving it, and reproducing it here:
