Interview: The University of Tennessee Armed Forces Veterans Memorial

UT Armed Forces Veterans Memorial - Artist Rendering
University of Tennessee
An artist's rendering of the University of Tennessee Armed Forces Veterans Memorial

More than a century ago, the idea for a veterans memorial on the University of Tennessee’s Knoxville campus was born, but never came to fruition until this year. It honors students, faculty, and staff from UT campuses statewide who died in military service from World War I to the present. WUOT's Chrissy Keuper spoke with retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel W. Logan Hickman, Jr., who headed the University of Tennessee Army ROTC Alumni Council's effort to get the UT Armed Forces Veterans Memorial installed.
