Lafayette, I Am Here!
November 8, 2pm
UCO Nigh University Center
In honor of Veteran's Week and in conjunction with the University of Central Oklahoma's Passport Program on France, Dr. Hall Duncan will present a program called "Lafayette, I Am Here." The program is free to the public and will be held in Constitution Hall at the UCO Nigh University Center. It will include a visual presentation of Dr. Duncan's two recent trips to France to visit the battlefields and villages of World War II. Included were the French villages of Guebling and Bourgaltroff near the France-German border and the nearby battlefields where Dr. Duncan fought with the 26th Division of the 101st Infantry Regiment of General George Patton's Third Army.
Dr. Duncan is a professor emeritus from the University of Central Oklahoma. In addition to teaching in higher education, he has also served as a cartoonist, an illustrator, an author and as a missionary. In August 2011, he received eight military medals, including the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star, for his actions as an infantryman nearly 70 years ago in France. He was wounded and was one of the few survivors from four days of battles near the French-German border in 1944.
