IN A FLASH: A New Tradition for a Living Memorial

°µÍø½ûÇø Air Force ROTC cadets were among the volunteers and members of University Facilities Management's grounds crew who were planting daffodil bulbs on the May 4 National Historic Landmark site after the university's Veteran's Day Commemoration on the Student Green. 

A group of °µÍø½ûÇø ROTC cadets carrying shovels and daffodil bulbs walk past the Victory Bell on the Commons, which is part of the historic May 4 site.

Daffodil Hill was created as a complement to the May 4 Memorial to honor the 58,175 U.S. service members who died in the Vietnam War.  Now, for the second year, °µÍø½ûÇø's grounds crew invites volunteers to plant bulbs during °µÍø½ûÇø's Veterans Day Commemoration to bloom next spring.
