The campus community is invited to join in a celebration of the life of a patriot, soldier, and friend of Rensselaer.

Greene ’80, who was killed in Afghanistan in August 2014 during a routine visit to a British military base near Kabul.
The plaque reads:
A leader, a thinker, and a person of action, he exemplifies the type of outstanding individual that we challenge all Rensselaer students to aspire to become.
As a decorated soldier and patriot, he protected and defended our country and citizens with dignity, honor, and excellence.
His service and ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten.
