Honor the Veteran in your life, have their name etched forever in the Mount St. Mary's Veterans' Walkway

Since our founding by Father John DuBois in 1808, hundreds of devoted alumni and members of the Mount St. Mary’s community have served in all branches of the military, during peace time as well as war, to preserve the God-given rights of all citizens of the world.

As President Thomas H. Powell notes, "As we begin our third century of service to our church and our nation, it is quite appropriate that we recognize Mount veterans and thank them for their faithful and selfless service. To demonstrate our appreciation, we will construct a Veterans’ Walkway, which will be located on the Patriot Hall Plaza."

Rear Adm. Thomas “Tibby” Brown, USN (Ret.), C’54, and Maj. Gen J. Anthony “Tony” Studds, USMC (Ret.), C’60, along with twelve alumni and members of the Mount community have agreed to serve on the Walkway Committee. Construction of the Walkway will begin in the spring of 2009, with the formal dedication to be held the following November.

To make this memorial a reality, The Mount will need the generous financial support of all our constituencies- alumni, parents and friends. The Walkway designs, as well as gift opportunities, are included on this page. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our campus coordinators, Msgr. Stuart Swetland, S’91, (USNA’81), Vice President for Catholic Identity and Mission, and Philip McGlade, C’70, Director of Seminary Development/Alumni relations.
