Dr. Earnest Gloyna, former dean and civil engineering professor emeritus, spent Veterans’ Day recounting stories of his World War II service to Congressman Lamar Smith for the Veterans History Project (VHP). Gloyna, who holds the Bettie Margaret Smith Chair in Environmental Health Engineering Emeritus, served as a U.S. Army Aviation Engineering Battalion Lieutenant Colonel from 1942 to 1946 in Europe. Created by Congress in 2000, the VHP collects various accounts of service from volunteers to preserve the memories, experiences, and stories of America’s veterans. Gloyna’s personal narrative will be archived along with others’ contributions at the Library of Congress.
