A group of students will visit the Quad later this week, but they won’t be studying or relaxing. They’ll be arranging a series of American flags, one for each Gold Star Aggie the university has lost in military service to the United States.
Those 136 flags will stand as a reminder of Memorial Day and the meaning behind the Memorial Union, and take on extra importance in another year when a traditional ceremony can’t be held. Veterans, ROTC cadets and others who would have normally attended UC Davis’ Memorial Day Ceremony have shared their thoughts about the meaning of Memorial Day, and many of them are compiled in the above video by Christopher Selvo, a student intern in the Office of Strategic Communications.
