About the Tribute
¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ's Alumni Veterans Tribute celebrates our proud tradition of alumni in military service. Recognizing all five U.S. military branches, the Veterans Tribute consists of the following five elements:
- Two interwoven and rising spirals that represent liberty and justice and wind inward toward an illuminated U.S. flag
- An engraved band of names on the spirals of those who were killed in action or missing in action, symbolically placing ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ’s heroes at the foundation of U.S. freedoms
- Inscriptions of the Bill of Rights, military oath, Pledge of Allegiance and Preamble to the Constitution on the metal cap of the wall
- Quotes from former U.S. Presidents Benjamin Harrison (¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ 1852), Woodrow Wilson, and Harry S. Truman, and Gen. George S. Patton.
- A five-pointed star, featuring five entrances that each have a triangular planter box with the seal of one of the military branches
