Corps of Cadets Hall of Honor

For more than a century, the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M University has produced members who have held positions of importance in almost every field of endeavor. Whether in war or peace, former cadets have led the way.

The Corps of Cadets established the Hall of Honor in 1993 to pay tribute to those former cadets who have lived a life that exemplifies the Texas Aggie Spirit. Those chosen also possess the values upon which the Corps was founded: honor, loyalty, service, pride, patriotism, faith, leadership and honesty.

Plaques containing portraits and biographies of each member are displayed in the Hall of Honor of the Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Center. A special lapel pin identifies the members of the Hall of Honor.

Acting under the authority delegated by the Board or Regents, the President, and the Vice President for Student Affairs, the Commandant has total responsibility for establishing policy governing the operation of the Corps of Cadets.  As Head of the School of Military Sciences, the Commandant has coordination and liaison responsibilities for the Army, Navy/Marine, and Air Force ROTC and School of Military Science (SOMS) Leadership programs.  The Commandant and his staff coordinate all Corps-related activities and supervise the daily operation of the Corps.
