The hundreds of graduates honored here gave their lives in flight while serving the country. Such sacrifices were not imagined at West Point’s founding, yet they forged the spirit of Army Air Service, Army Air Corps, Army Air Forces, United States Air Force and Army Aviation. All who serve in the air will ever owe homage to these graduates who went before them in life - - and in death.
