A Photographic History

The John Marshall High School War Memorial in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond.

The names of John Marshall High School students are proudly displayed on eight plaques. They lost their lives in military conflict defending their country in four wars.

Duty, Honor, Country

Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.

"In their youth and strength, their love and loyalty, they gave all that mortality can give."
