Alumni Memorial

In honor of UNC NROTC alumni who died on active duty, we have created this web site to remember them. Please see the list below to learn more about each person.

This memorial page is inclusive of graduates of the V-12 wartime pre-flight training commissioning program established in 1943, midshipmen enrolled in the NROTC program at the time of their death, and NROTC faculty members. In addition, we have included alumni who were not on active duty at the time of their death but died as a direct result of injuries received on active duty.

If you are aware of other UNC NROTC alumni who fall into these categories that should be added to this list, please contact our association.
