Desmond (Arkansas Research) has sent us photographs of the University of Central Arkansas World War II memorial located in Faulkner County. These memorials amaze me…these are the students from ONE school.
On February 22, 1946, a memorial service was held in Ida Waldran Auditorium to remember those alumni who died in World War II. In the same year an Oak tree was planted in memory of each fallen student. The stately Oaks line Donaghey Avenue and stand in front of Wingo, McCastlain and Bernard Halls.
We are your fellow alumni who answered our nations call to arms. We did our duty and died young in the service of our country. We ask that you remember the price of freedom.
