Boston College Veterans Memorial "Boston College always had a tradition of service that included military service. That was part of our DNA. When called, we'd say, 'Who'll go? We'll go.' Finally, we can honor as a community those that gave so much to the rest of us." — Paul Delaney '66 Memorial Committee Co-chair Vietnam Army Officer "What is important is for each of us to remember what these brave men have done for all of us. This monument is both a place of reflection and a reminder that all wars demand a terrible price—not just of the individual soldier, but also from the families that they leave behind." — Retired Marine Corps Gen. John J. Sheehan '62 "We are going over there to do a good thing. I'm a pretty quiet person and I don't want to make a big deal out of it. But it is something that I want to do. I believe in the cause and I believe that it is good. I’m not on any soapbox—that's not my thing. I am just doing my job." — Brian Casey 13-year veteran of BC Dining Services Member of the National Guard's 182nd Infantry Regiment "We feel that Boston College has made us part of your community. We have a theme that 'We are all in this together,' and BC has opened their arms to us. It means so much to all of us." — Major Eric J.
