In a tribute to Memorial Day, members of University of Maryland University College (UMUC) alumni community traveled to BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport at Baltimore on May 26 and welcomed home returning service members and their families.

It’s a joyful ritual that UMUC alumni volunteers―laden with handmade signs, and snack bags for service members to enjoy while they await connecting flights―gladly repeat multiple times each year.
