On National Medal of Honor Day, we honor the extraordinary service and sacrifice of those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

We are proud to count ten Medal of Honor recipients among our alumni, including the newest honoree, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Eric Slover, whose actions embody the highest ideals of leadership and selfless service. 🇺🇸

Their legacy is honored in the Medal of Honor exhibit in Jackman Hall, a lasting reminder of what it means to lead with courage.

Today, we remember. We reflect. And we recommit to the values they represent.
