Veterans

More than 380 Christchurch alumni have served our country in uniform, in war and in peace, across every branch of the armed forces. We are proud to honor them. The list is still growing, and it is surely incomplete, so if you know a Seahorse veteran who belongs on it, we would be grateful to hear from you.
