You’re invited to join members of the Eastern Illinois University community and the James Jones Literary Society as we pay tribute and remember the men and women of what has been called "the greatest generation” through an exploration of war-related works by Illinois author James Jones.

In attendance from the University will be the dean of the College of Arts and Humanities, James Johnson; chair of the Department of English, Dana Ringuette; and Chair of the History Department, Anita Shelton.
