UCLA Years
The UCLA  Army ROTC Alumni Web Page is dedicated to those UCLA students who were cadets in the UCLA Army ROTC unit during the Viet Nam War years.  These young students faced many hard choices and ridicule while at UCLA, but still chose to serve their country.  The site is not about heroes or warriors, but people.  As the motto says, Friends in Arms  Friends for Life.

This site will cover the years of these UCLA ROTC cadets from UCLA to the Army and to their future careers.  It is hoped through these images their memories can be shared and valued by those who visit this site.
