Remembrance
Lest We Forget
When Uxbridge Secondary School staff and students travelled to France on the most recent USS Remembrance Tour in April 2012, they had no idea how much they would be emotionally impacted by the stories of the veterans who were former USS students. Our current students researched the veterans, and then located the graves / memorials of four former Uxbridge Secondary students, and now they want to learn more about these men, and other men and women who once walked the halls of Uxbridge Secondary.
As part of the 90th Anniversary celebrations for USS, the students will be organizing a Room of Remembrance and they are appealing to the community to help them in providing information so they can share the stories of any former USS students who fought in either World War ll or the Great War. The students and teacher would like to meet with veterans who were former USS students, or their family members to learn about their experiences, in order to pay tribute to them at the Uxbridge Secondary School Reunion on June 21-23, 2013.
