The sixth annual Pride of Our Nation… Pride of Our College, an exhibition of photographs of veterans and active military service members with a connection to Hudson Valley Community College, will be on view Nov. 10 through Dec. 7 in the Marvin Library Learning Commons.
Monday, Oct. 10 is the submission deadline.
On the evening of June 6, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt led the nation in prayer for the 57,000 American soldiers — the “pride of our nation” — and their fellow allies participating in the invasion of France.
This year on the 75th anniversary of the United States entry into the Second World War we remember the fallen at Pearl Harbor and all Americans who have served our country in the armed forces in the years before and since December 7, 1941.
In celebration of our active duty servicemen and military veterans, students, faculty and staff are invited to submit photographs of loved ones or relatives, who served or are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces, for inclusion in this special exhibiton.
To participate in this special event, please submit original or scanned photographs to Alice Malavasic, (MRV 110), Department of History, Philosophy, and Social Sciences, no later than Monday, Oct. 10. Photographs submitted and exhibited last year will be on display along with the new submissions. Those who submitted photographs last year may do so again, but priority will be given to first-time submissions.
All submissions must meet the following criteria:
The photograph or photographs must be of a family member or relative in uniform during his or her time of service and include a brief typed statement that includes the following information:
— name of the service person and time of service or conflict served in.
— branch of service and any additional information available such as rank, regiment, company, awards and battles fought in.
— your name and relationship to the service person in the photograph. (If you are a student please include your major. If you are a member of the faculty or staff please include your department.)
We also will accept artifacts along with photographs. Artifacts will be on display in locked cases. If you wish to submit an artifact with your photograph, please contact Alice Malavasic directly via e-mail (a.malavasic@hvcc.edu) or at 629-7697.
