Miami University Alumni Veteran's Tribute

Miami University Alumni Veteran's Tribute. . This idyllic campus of learning and growth is made possible by all who have accepted the responsibility of safekeeping our freedom. Honored here are the Miami University alumni who have served in the five branches of the military. The memorial is formed by two interwoven and rising spirals, representing liberty and justice, which wind inward towards an illuminated U.S. flag. The metal cap of the wall is inscribed with the Articles of Freedom (the Constitution and the Bill of Rights), as well as Military Oaths and the Pledge of Allegiance. Symbolically supporting the spirals is the band of names, commemorating those who have died or been lost serving in harm's way, thus placing Miami's heroes at the foundation of U.S. Freedoms., The Veteran's Tribute Memorial has been made possible through the generosity of Alumni and Friends of the University.
