We pause today at Gannon on Memorial Day to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to the ideals of freedom will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

We invite our Gannon community to reflect at the Missing and Fallen Comrades Memorial in AJ’s Way, a solemn tribute to those who served and sacrificed. May their legacy inspire us to live with purpose, gratitude and service to others.
