Henry, SMA '46, the SMA Alumni Association developed the SMA-VWIL Memorial Wall on the eastward-facing wall of the SMA-VWIL Museum.  The memorial wall was officially dedicated during a formal ceremony as part of the SMA Alumni Reunion 2002 Weekend, on Saturday, 27 July.  The key purpose behind the SMA-VWIL Memorial Wall is to pay tribute by remembering and honoring all those that made <I>The Ultimate Sacrifice</I> in one of the four major wars, which our SMA brothers served and made the ultimate sacrifice.  The memorial wall also serves as a memorial to recognize and honor those SMA /VWIL alumni, faculty and staff or others associated with SMA/VWIL that have been nominated and selected for a memorial plaque.</div> <div> Pictured below is the focal point of the memorial wall. The centerpiece plaque, The Ultimate Sacrifice, was designed by sculptor Larry Perkins, SMA '51. It is bordered by the four war plaques listing the names of SMA brothers that were killed in action during one of the four major wars of the last century.  On either side of this focal point of plaques, will be individual memorial plaques paying tribute and honoring individuals associated with SMA (e.g., former faculty/staff, alumni, and friends of SMA).  </div> <div> The SMA Alumni Association will provide funding for three such individual memorial plaques each year.  Nominations of plaque candidates should be submitted by the December 31st each year.  Other individual memorial plaques may be purchased and funded through private sources.  All plaques must meet strict standards criteria and be approved by the SMA-VWIL Museum Committee.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="1079" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 257 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="20979fb0.jpg" border=0 width="377" height="251" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER ROWSPAN=2><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="20755000.jpg" border=0 width="341" height="512" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="20b78fa0.jpg" border=0 width="376" height="250" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 262 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="20d7dfe0.jpg" border=0 width="381" height="254" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="20f59000.jpg" border=0 width="345" height="256" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <B>THE SMA-VWIL MEMORIAL WALL</B></div> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="626" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=3 BGCOLOR=#FFFF66 HEIGHT= 23 WIDTH="606"><div> <B>Individual Memorial Plaques</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 20 ><NOBR><div> <B>Year Honored</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="263"><div> <B>Faculty/Staff</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="218"><div> <B>Alumni</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 228 WIDTH="119"><div> <B>2001</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="263"><div> <B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700dc99330000.gif" HEIGHT="15" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Colonel Harrison S.
