At Monumental Honor, we want to ensure future leaders within the Richmond community have the tools they need to carry on Monumental Honor’s mission of uniting our city by honoring the city’s heroes. 2nd Lt. Ernest Dervishian is one of those heroes. 2nd Lt. Dervishian (then TSgt.) earned the nation’s highest award for his actions at the Battle of Anzio in Italy on May 23, 1944. Before the war, Dervishian had a successfully private law practice after graduating from the University of Richmond School of Law in 1938.
In conjunction with the University Of Richmond, Troutman & Pepper Law firm and the Dervishian family, we are pleased to announce that at the UofR Military appreciation Day football game on the 2nd of November, we will be honoring 2nd Lt. Ernest Dervishian by presenting a $5,000 scholarship to a University of Richmond School of Law student!
Our goal is to revive Dervishian Day and commemorate Ernest Dervishian and promote the values of the Medal of Honor: Courage, Integrity, Commitment, Sacrifice, Citizenship, and Patriotism. There is no better way to do that than ensuring the future leaders have the tools to succeed.
