Home Honorees

We are profoundly honored to be a part of the legacy of our veterans and to share in their own personal histories. Bravery has no age limit, color restriction, or gender requirement, and this is apparent in the veterans whom the university is proud to honor each year. While the faces, battle fronts, and weapons may change, the resolute character and courage required of men and women who go to battle remain the same.
