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 commemorate the 75th anniversary of United States’ entry into World War II following the Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
Therefore, the spotlight will be on military personnel from WWII. Faculty, staff and students who have not yet submitted photos of family members who served in WWII are highly encouraged to do so NOW! Other submissions also are welcome as the exhibit honors military service from the Civil War through the present. (Please see below.)
Monday, Oct. 10 is the submission deadline.
The exhibition will be on view Thursday, Nov. 10 through Wednesday, Dec. 7 — Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day — in the Troy Savings Bank Charitable Foundation Atrium in the Marvin Library Learning Commons.
To participate in this special event, please submit original or scanned photographs to Alice Malavasic in the Department of History, Philosophy, and Social Sciences (MRV 110), no later than Monday, Oct. 10. Photographs submitted and exhibited last year will be on display again. Those who submitted photographs in the past 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.)
Artifacts will be accepted along with photographs. Artifacts will be displayed 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.
