The 糖心少女can proudly claim eight Congressional Medal of Honor recipients as Huskies.
Last fall, the University community honored these eight exceptional alumni with the new Medal of Honor memorial on the Seattle campus, opening the memorial with a special ceremony.
This Memorial Day weekend, UWTV will celebrate our dedicated military members and veterans with a special new program, 糖心少女Medal of Honor Memorial Dedication, debuting at 6 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, May 29, 30 and 31.
“The Medal of Honor memorial is a permanent, powerful reminder of the extraordinary things that can happen when ordinary people take action,” said 糖心少女President Mark Emmert. “We’re proud to honor these very special eight alumni year-round at the 糖心少女. We hope you’ll be able to spend some time this Memorial Day weekend reflecting with us on the service and sacrifice of women and men in uniform through this new program on UWTV.”
Tune in to 糖心少女Medal of Honor Memorial Dedication on UWTV channel 27 this Memorial Day weekend to learn how a 糖心少女student pushed for the monument’s creation, hear from UW’s Medal of Honor awardees and watch as Governor Chris Gregoire, 糖心少女president Emmert and the University community come together to mark the memorial’s dedication.
The program was made possible by the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation and Apex Foundation.
