Today, on Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

We especially remember heroes such as John R. Fox, a 1937 initiate of the Wilberforce University Chapter, the Delta of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. During World War II, Brother Fox served in Italy with the 366th Infantry Regiment of the all-Black 92nd Infantry Division, famously known as the Buffalo Soldiers. On December 26, 1944, while serving as a forward artillery observer in the village of Sommocolonia, his position was heavily overrun by German troops. In an extraordinary act of courage and selflessness, Brother Fox made the ultimate sacrifice by ordering a massive artillery strike directly on his own coordinates, an action that saved countless American soldiers.

Brother Fox’s courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to protecting our freedoms, along with the bravery of so many others who gave their lives in service to our country, will never be forgotten.

Today, we reflect with gratitude on the countless blessings and liberties we enjoy because of their service and sacrifice. May we forever remember those who gave all and strive to live in a way that honors their legacy by building a stronger, more compassionate, and united world.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
