On Sept. 27, 1999, the Naval War College in Newport,
R.I., dedicated a memorial flagpole in honor of the thousands of
Holy Cross men and women who have served as officers in
the Navy or Marine Corps. The ceremony was part of
the dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony for McCarty Little
Hall, a new building at the college.
The memorial to Holy Cross alumni, consisting of a 60-foot nautical flagpole,
was funded with $30,000 contributed by
the late Edward J. Brennan '52, James E. Hayes '52 and James T. Larkin '53. Brennan
and Hayes served in the Navy; Larkin was in the Marine
Corps.
The Holy Cross NROTC color guard participated in the ceremony, which was attended
by Acting President Frank Vellaccio
and Rev. William J. O'Halloran, S.J.
