They are keenly aware of the Transylvanians sprinkled around the globe in the uniforms of Uncle Sam.  Transylvanians remember vividly a sunrise service at which a male quartet sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic and the flag was lowered to half [staff] in tribute to the President.

Adair of Paris, Kentucky. Adair matriculated to campus in the fall of 1941, but by 1943 was co-piloting B-17 bombers in the Army Air Corps. Assigned to the 96th Bomb Group of the 338th Bomb Squadron, his aircraft was shot down by enemy fire on July 28, 1943, over the North Sea. His remains were never recovered, though his name is inscribed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abmc.gov\/multimedia\/images\/cambridge-american-cemetery-tablets-missing\">Tablets of the Missing at Cambridge American Cemetery<\/a> in England. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During World War II, Transylvania&#8217;s campus became home to the 322nd College Training Detachment of the Army Air Corps. &#8220;For many years to come, Transylvania will be a part of the men who were stationed here,&#8221; wrote the editors of the 1944 Crimson yearbook. &#8220;The influence of the [A]rmy men on the college will be more spectacular; the flow of the direction will be more profound.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1944 Crimson included 12 pages of corps class photos, stories and recollections. &#8220;The purpose of printing these is twofold: to give the aircrew students a record of their associates at the college, and to give Transylvania students, and other interested persons, a record of an important and pleasant war activity on the campus.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this Veterans Day 2019, 75 years after the end of World War II, we remember Jack G.
