Yesterday--Memorial Day--our nation remembered those who have given their lives to defend our country in times of war.
We at the National Peace Corps Association also want to pause and honor those Peace Corps volunteers, staff and returned volunteers who have lost their lives far from home while in service to the ideals of a world shaped in peace and understanding.
Pictured is the Peace Corps headquarters plaque commemorating their sacrifice. To read the names of the 273 Peace Corps volunteers who have died in service over the past 48 years, click here.
