It is foolish and wrong to mourn the
men who died.
Rather we should thank God that such men lived. - George S. Patton, Jr.
This page is dedicated to members of UAW 1111 who have passed away. It has often been said that a Union is made up of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. The UAW has been built by members working together to make a better life for each other. Be proud of this, your Union heritage. It's important that we remember our fallen brothers who helped to build this Union.
Through the use of the Union Memorial Wall, we hope to help the healing by remembering our loved ones. In the true spirit of our union heritage, let's pause and reflect on the paths taken by our brothers who were here with us. Take a moment to visit the dedications and honor those we worked with, laughed with, and loved. The UAW 1111 Memorial Wall is a place of honor, built with union pride, to hold fast to their memory. We miss them dearly.
