An amazing day. Our students volunteered to help the Belleau Wood Cemetery prepare for Memorial Day. This cemetery marks the resting place of the U.S Marines who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country and each other. #MemorialDay #WWI #EAMayTerm @EAMayTerm

Unbelievable day. We visited Vimy Ridge to learn about the infamous Canadian assault in 1917. Afterwards, we went to France’s largest cemetery and the battle grounds of Arras. #WWI #EAMayTerm @EAMayTerm

“They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home. Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.” FDR #EAJTerm
