The incomparable John Moon, singing the "National Anthem" at the Jan. 18 Western Illinois University Women's Basketball game, which was also Military Appreciation Night. The 101-year-old (almost 102!) WWII Marine Corps Veteran and 1939 WIU alumnus is the oldest known living Iwo Jima survivor. We are so proud to call this amazing man a member of our #WIU family.



Read more about John in the spring issue of the alumni magazine (page 14).
