The Graduate War Memorial

Footfalls, an original painting by Rick Herter. The work was commissioned by the AOG in 1992
and subsequently purchased by the class of 1960 for display in Doolittle Hall.

The Memorial Wall contains names of all graduates killed as a result of hostile action during a state of military conflict. The commemorated graduates range from the Class of 1959 through the Class of 2011, with the first USAFA graduate combat death occurring on 24 October 1964 (Valmore W. Bourque, '60).

Team members, who spent an amazing number of volunteer hours on the project, are Jock Schwank, '60, Andi Biancur, '60, Dick Sexton, '60, and Dick Coppock, '61. Building on original work accomplished by Doug Johnson, Chief, Systems Management Office, McDermott Library, the team has collected, scanned, electronically filed, and indexed more than 35,000 pages of written and photographic documentation thus far. Previously there was no central location for information about these graduates nor was much of the existing information readily accessible. The team relied on exceptional cooperation from the staffs of the Academy's Association of Graduates and the McDermott Library Clark Special Collections Branch to make the project a reality.

The graduate document archive is currently in the process of being migrated from legacy software to this site. Some graduate archives are now in place. Click the profile photos below. If completed, a new page will open with a list of documents. Please check back frequently as this process continues.
