Presbyterian College Armed Forces Memorial

Presbyterian College's Armed Forces Memorial centers on military service and sacrifice across multiple wars, including the Medal of Honor awarded to Lieutenant Colonel George L. Mabry, Jr. of the United States Army for extraordinary gallantry near Schevenhutte, Germany, on 20 November 1944, when he led his battalion through a minefield and heavy fire, cleared obstacles, captured enemy soldiers, assaulted bunkers, and secured ground that gave his regiment a foothold on the Cologne Plain. It also honors Presbyterian College alumni killed in World War II and the Korean War, recalls the college's strong ROTC leadership before and during the Vietnam era, outlines major stages of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, names graduates killed there, and extends remembrance to graduates lost in later military operations including recovery missions in North Vietnam and combat in Iraq. The memorial further expresses Presbyterian College's enduring tradition of service by students and graduates who served with honor, dedication, and love of country, while looking ahead in hope for peace and protection for those who may serve in the future.
