The Institute proudly honors the 26 Institute alumni who were prisoners of war or went missing in action during their military service. Coinciding with National POW/MIA Recognition Day, a POW/MIA Chair of Honor has been installed and dedicated in Foster Stadium as a permanent tribute to their sacrifices.
Col. Thomas H. Kirk, Jr. ’50B, a Vietnam POW, reflected on the chair’s importance: "I hope that every cadet who sees this chair is reminded of the great price paid for our freedom and is inspired to strive for excellence as a student, a leader, and an American."
