 | | With the death of former student John Shillington in the explosion aboard the battleship Maine in 1898, Notre Dame had a personal stake in the Spanish-American War and a campus monument (located in front of Pasquerilla Center). |
 | | Among those honored by this memorial are First Lieutenant Patrick M. Dixon, class of 1967, who was decorated five times for heroism while serving in Vietnam, and in honor of his memory an award is given annually to a member of Notre Dame's Army ROTC unit. |
 | | Also honored is James E. Pavlicek, Junior, class of 1965, who was awarded the Air Medal, two Distinguished Flying Cross Medals for heroism in Vietnam and was a posthumous awardee of the 1987 Rev. William Corby, CSC, Award, presented for distinguished service by the Notre Dame Alumni Association. |
