Last year, on December 7, 2016, National Pearl Harbor Remembrance
Day, the law school dedicated the school's law library to veterans, renaming
it the "Ave Maria School of Law Veterans Memorial Law Library." Inside
the library, Ave Law created a Veterans Wall of Honor. As patrons enter
the library, they are greeted by depictions of oversized service members in
uniform, representing each of the five military branches. Benefactors, faculty,
staff, students, and members of the community may purchase plaques to
place on the wall with the name of a veteran. It enables family and friends to
memorialize and honor their beloved veterans, keeping the memory of loved ones
and their service and sacrifice to our nation alive for many years to come.
Ave Maria School of Law is committed to honoring our nation’s military
veterans. Ave Law has earned the 2017 national Military Friendly School
designation by Victory Media. Ave Law is proud of our students and alumni who
are veterans, as well as three retired Army JAG officers on our faculty including TOP LEFT: VETERANS WALL OF HONOR
our President and Dean, our Founder, Thomas Monaghan, a Marine Veteran, and MIDDLE: LADIES FOR LIBERTY SINGING TROUPE
