With a donation of any amount to the Military Science General Use Fund (0978), you can choose to honor any veteran, living or deceased, regardless of whether they attended William & Mary.

In recognition of your support, our ROTC students will place a small American flag on the campus grounds between the historic Wren Building and the Sunken Garden on Veterans Day. It is a powerful way to visually honor their service while advancing the mission of our current program.

Please see the attached flyer for information on how to enter your acknowledgement to honor a veteran by 4 Nov 2026.
