“On this Veterans Day we pause to honor those who have selflessly served this nation and made sacrifices in order to uphold our freedom. Let us give a special salute to our very own Villanova veterans, our students, faculty, staff and alumni who have worn the uniform, and bring so much passion, experience, and leadership to our Villanova community.” –Ethan Shea, former English Graduate Student at Villanova University and Graduate Assistant at Falvey Library.

Through “Lest We Forget: The Villanova Veterans History Project” an oral history project, the Office of Veterans and Military Service Members and Falvey Library’s Distinctive Collections and Digital Engagement Department capture the stories of veterans with connections to Villanova, archive them, and make them available to family members, friends, and the community.
