Here, one can find veterans connected to every conflict our country has been involved in. Emmy–award winning documentarian and Mount Olivet historian Chris Haugh will give participants a rare view of the lives and achievements of some of these men and women through a leisurely walking tour. Of those reposing in Mount Olivet, some veterans died in military combat, while others succumbed to wounds and sickness acquired while in military service. Thankfully, the vast majority of armed forces personnel came back home from the battlefields and lived out full lives dedicated to family and professional pursuits. Most returned with a renewed understanding that “freedom is not necessarily free,” as the greatest sacrifices have been made by our soldiers and sailors throughout our country’s vast military history. Bring your walking shoes as we plan to cover a few miles through the winding roads and lanes of Frederick’s historic, garden cemetery. We will meet at the Key Memorial Chapel just beyond the Francis Scott Key Memorial. There is ample parking in the circle drive around the chapel as students can park here. Note: This tour will be conducted at Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Students will be required to provide their own transportation. An email will be sent with trip details one week prior to the course date.
