Harvard's Memorial Church was dedicated in 1932 to honor those in the Harvard community who were killed in World War I.⠀
⠀
Inscribed at the top of the wall of the Memorial Room are the words of Harvard President A. Lawrence Lowell, who also donated the church’s bell: “While a bright future beckoned, they freely gave their lives and fondest hopes for us and our allies that we might learn from them courage in peace to spend our lives making a better world for others.”⠀
⠀
The Memorial Church recognizes the service and sacrifice of all Harvard veterans: The walls of the sanctuary are dedicated to more than 1,000 members of the Harvard community who died in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.⠀
⠀
“We continue to honor their service, their sacrifice, and their memory,” says Rev. Jonathan L. Walton. ⠀
