Story Highlights:
- An Oct. 17 dedication has been scheduled for the student-designed Freedom From Terror Memorial, a gift from the university’s classes of ’68 and ’03. The award winning design for the memorial was chosen from 27 entries in a 2006 college-wide competition that was also sponsored by the former students.
- The memorial will be built next to the campus central utility plant at the corner of Coke and Lubbock streets from a design by four graduate students in architecture at Texas A&M.
- The Texas A&M classes of ’68 and ’03 conceived of the memorial as a way to honor Aggies who gave their lives in the effort to combat terrorism, as well as those living who guard and protect the United States from terrorist attacks.
