This image from Marcus A. Golczynski\u2019s funeral brought to mind Stearn\u2019s image of John John saluting his father\u2019s casket, Rosenthal\u2019s flag-raising on Mount Surabachi, and David Leeson\u2019s image of Staff Sgt. Lonnie Roberts at the memorial service of one of his men. The common thread through all of these images is the realization that some have given the last full measure of devotion; they should be held in the highest regard and their memories should not fade with time \u2013 that is the purpose of the MTSU Veterans Memorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listed below are members of the MTSU community who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our
