The public is invited to discover “living 历史” during Saint Leo University’s upcoming Research Symposium featuring legendary 101-year-old U.S. Army veteran Roy Caldwood on Thursday, October 26.

主讲嘉宾考德伍德将分享他在二战期间以及后来在赖克斯岛担任狱警期间的坚韧和英勇之旅。 该活动将于10月26日星期四上午11点在学生社区中心举行，地点是greenfeld - denlinger董事会会议室，佛罗里达州圣里奥县52路33701号，邮编33574。 Those who cannot attend in person may attend via Zoom at www.group-xpj.com/caldwood. RSVPs are required to attend via Zoom and participants are asked to email [email protected].

This event is sponsored by the university’s Department of 社会科学, the 艺术、科学和相关服务学院, 军事事务和事务处, the Caribbean 学生’ Association, and Alpha Kappa Delta 国际 社会学 Honor Society.

第二次世界大战期间，考德伍德在意大利服役，是著名的美国陆军第92步兵师水牛士兵的一员，以19世纪非洲裔美国骑兵的名字命名。 他拥有受人尊敬的称号，是佛罗里达州最后一位已知的布法罗士兵，由国家布法罗士兵组织认可。

As a U.S. Army Bronze Star recipient and the author of the memoir 做出正确的举动：赖克斯岛和纽约的纠正, his story resonates with courage and resilience, stated the organizers of the event. 今年早些时候，坦帕市市长简·卡斯特宣布2023年4月5日为罗伊·考德伍德日。 他还获得了纽约市惩教局荣誉勋章。

这是一个机会，让圣里奥社区和公众听到罗伊·考德伍德的非凡生活和成就。 This is living 历史 and will be of interest to all — especially those interested in 历史, 多样性 and inclusion, 刑事司法 and corrections, 退伍军人’ issues, and more.

Signed copies of 做出正确的举动：赖克斯岛和纽约的纠正 will be available for sale at the event at Saint Leo University.

Requests for accommodations can be made by emailing [email protected]. For more information, visit saintleo.edu/accommodations.
