Honoring Their Service: Fallen Peace Corps Volunteers
We honor the 275 Peace Corps volunteers who died** while in service to their country, as well as those volunteers, staff and returned volunteers who have lost their lives far from home in the service of peace and understanding.
(Donna and Chelsea Mack have also created the Fallen Peace Corps Volunteers Memorial Website in honor of their son and brother Jeremiah Mack, and others, at www.fpcv.org).
