Throughout The Citadel's 162-year history, the military college has produced scores of graduates who have selflessly served their country, often giving their lives, to protect our freedom and the freedom of our allies. As we fight the war on terrorism in Afghanistan, Iraq and other regions, we respectfully honor our cadets and alumni who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and offer this tribute to their memory.
