 Inside the Student Union at the University of
North Texas (formerly North Texas State University; North Texas
Teacher's College), there are several plaques which recognize
those students who served in WWI, WWII, or Vietnam (but,
strangely enough, not Korea). The collage of plaques is in a
prime area (meaning any student who walks through the Union is
bound to see them), yet I am sure that most people don't even pay
attention to them. I was rather happy when, as I was copying down
the names, several people stopped and gazed at the plaques. Let
us all never forget the sacrifices these students made, because
without them and countless other Americans, we would not be
enjoying this great freedom that we have.
The collage of plaques is shown
below. The plaques showing names have
been recreated on two separate pages: casualties of the two World Wars and casualties of World War II. If you knew any of the men
listed on the plaques, please contact me; I would be honored to
make a tribute page to the individual in question. For
information about the dedication of the 103d Infantry Division
plaque, go here.
