Please take a moment today to remember all our Duke classmates who died in our all too many wars, and especially their suffering families. Their lives and contributions, unlike ours, were cut short.

All gave some - some gave ALL...

Thank you, Chris. And thank you for your service.

My first cousin, who attended North Carolina Wesleyan and never had a shot at getting into Duke, was killed in the Tet Offensive six weeks after he was married and after volunteering for his second tour of duty. He was the only child of my favorite aunt and uncle. They never got over it. 

Thank you for remembering those who gave all and their families.
