US Army Drill Team at JMU

The US Army Drill Team performs Sunday, Nov. 8, 2009 at the dedication of the new memorial honoring Harrisonburg and Rockingham County veterans who died in foreign wars.

The memorial, built near the entrance to new softball and baseball fields at James Madison University's Memorial Hall, is "a visual reminder of those who gave their lives for us and our way of life," said JMU President Linwood H. Rose during opening remarks inside the softball stadium. Rose, who was joined on the stage by Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-6th District), Harrisonburg Mayor Kai Degner and Rockingham County Supervisor Michael Breeden, said he also hopes the memorial reminds people "that somewhere in the world there is a solitary soldier that is standing as a guardian for our democracy, and for that, we should all be grateful."
