New England College Honors New Hampshire Servicemembers Who Made the Ultimate Sacrifice at Never Forget: A Virtual Wall of Honor

New England College (NEC) will host Never Forget: A Virtual Wall of Honor on Friday, November 13, 2026, honoring New Hampshire servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice during military training or action.

Never Forget will feature extensive research conducted by NEC students that focuses attention on the lives and service of those who went missing in action or were killed in action. The presentation will be narrated by Dr. Raelyn Viti, Professor of Outdoor Education at NEC and Former Seargent U.S. Army, and Christopher J. Leeman, Adjunct Professor at NEC and Former Captain U.S. Air Force. Leeman will also serve as keynote speaker.

“This marks NEC’s second hosting of Never Forget, and I cannot overstate the importance of preserving the stories of those who served and ensuring that their sacrifices are remembered by future generations,” stated Frank Jones, Associate Professor of the Practice in Criminal Justice and Director of Veterans Services at NEC. “Never Forget gives us the opportunity to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and express our gratitude for all of America’s servicemembers.”

New England College was founded to serve the educational needs of servicemembers returning from World War II, and the College continues to stand by that commitment to veterans and the military community.

Never Forget takes place Friday, November 13, 2026, in the Rosamond Page Putnam Center for the Performing Arts on NEC’s campus in Henniker. A social hour with refreshments will be held from 4:00–5:00 p.m. with the presentation following from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.

This event is free and open to the community. Family members and friends of individuals who are serving or have served in any branch of the U.S. armed forces are also invited to attend.
