Five to be named to ROTC Hall of Fame at Veterans Day ceremony
Nov 8, 2024
Five St. Bonaventure University alumni will be named to the Seneca Battalion ROTC Hall of Fame at the university’s traditional Veterans Day service at 12:30 p.m. Monday by the war memorials outside Reilly Center. The public is invited.
Allegany’s Candy Clemens, Gold Star mother of Staff Sgt. Shawn Clemens, will be the guest speaker at the ceremony. Shawn was killed in 2004 in an explosion in Afghanistan. Route 417 adjacent to campus is named in his honor.
The rain site for the ceremony is the SBU Athletics Hall of Fame in Reilly Center.
Col. Patricia George, ’95, Col. Jeremy McGuire, ’91, Lt. Col. William Kelly, ’80, Lt. Col. Gerard Monaghan, ’67, and Maj. Mark W. Hannon, ’47, (posthumously) will be formally inducted at a Hall of Fame ceremony in the spring.
The Hall of Fame was established in 1997 by Lt. Col. Frank Martin III, and Captains Rick Trietley and Jim DiRisio to recognize and memorialize accomplished leaders who were influenced by their experiences at St. Bonaventure to a lifelong commitment to service and citizenship.
Veterans Day was established by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919 as Armistice Day to honor military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. World War I formally ended on Nov. 11, 1918. The day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.
