Dedicated to the honor of those alumni
who have been killed in action defending the ideals of their country.
With immortal valor and the price of their
lives these proved their love of country
and their loyalty to the high traditions
of their alma mater by inscribing with
their own blood the narrative of their deeds
above, on, and underneath the seven seas.
They have set the course. They silently
stand watch wherever navy ships ply
the waters of the globe.
