Register via form below
In 2023, the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) celebrates 100th years of caring for and honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice and who lay in rest in 26 cemeteries around the world. This little-known, but fascinating and emotional, story will be told by Rollins/Crummer graduate and retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling, a former commissioner and chairman of this government agency. Mark will also tell the story of several Rollins graduates who are honored by a campus memorial but who rest forever in ABMC sites overseas.
This event is open to the public.
