This Memorial Day, we remember those whose stories extend far beyond the classroom, the field, or the communities they once called home.
Moravian alumnus and standout Greyhound athlete David Griffith arrived at Moravian in 1940 on scholarship, becoming a leader in football, baseball, and campus life before answering a greater call to serve. After joining the U.S. Marines, Griffith gave his life while serving as a platoon leader at Iwo Jima in 1945 and was awarded the Purple Heart for his sacrifice.
This Memorial Day, we honor Lt. David Griffith and all who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage and legacy continue to inspire generations.
We remember. We honor. We are grateful. 🇺🇸
