“So That We May Live and Serve”
Title from the Scroll of Honor dedication speech by Col. Ben Skardon,
Clemson class of 1938, on April 22, 2010 when he stated,
“They lived and served and died – so that we may live and serve.”
Photograph by Carl Ackerman
Taken Military Appreciation Day, Saturday, Nov. 13, 2018
How to Order:
CSN photographer, Carl Ackerman and CSN Sponsor, Allens’ Creations have teamed up to create a new fund-raising print titled “So That We May Live and Serve” using the incredible photo taken by Mr. Ackerman on the morning of the 2018 Military Appreciation game. In 2003 Allens’ Creations created a similar project that raised over $20,000.00 for Clemson’s Cemetery Hill Stewardship Committee. With this new print they hope to raise over $25,000 for the Clemson Corps with this project! The funds raised from the sale of the new print will go towards the building and/or maintenance of campus military heritage sites through the Clemson Corps account at the Clemson University Foundation.
Paper and canvas prints of “So That We May Live and Serve” have been produced and will be strictly limited – individually numbered, signed by the photographer and autographed by four of Clemson’s POW survivors: Col. Ben Skardon, Class of ’38; 1Lt. Bill Funchess, ’49; Col. Bill Austin, ’59; and Commander Bob Fant, 60.
