| Memorial Day Message from the Alumni Association and Foundation |
 The Naval Academy Class of 2022, graduating today as our newest class of alumni, have a class motto that is most fitting for this Memorial Day weekend: Not All of Me Shall Die. There is nothing more sacred to the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation than the memory of our fallen brothers and sisters who are honored in Memorial Hall. On this special Memorial Day weekend, we join you in celebrating their legacies; for through our memory and veneration of their service, they live. If you are looking for ways to honor our fallen this Memorial Day weekend, our Run to Honor Shared Interest Group is sponsoring several Memorial Day runs across the country. You can also visit Virtual Memorial Hall, also sponsored by the Run To Honor SIG. |
