Arlington Service Event 

You are invited to join us for a truly special event. As part of Norwich's history of service, DC area alumni, parents, and friends of Norwich are invited to gather at Arlington National Cemetery to pay tribute to the men and women laid to rest there. Norwich representatives will have the honor of placing the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldiers during our visit.
