🐔✈️ Happy Birthday, U.S. Air Force!
Capt. Joshua Cox '12, currently deployed overseas with the 315th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, sent us this photo of him and fellow Gamecocks proudly flying the flag while serving our country.
Last night we welcomed graduating Gamecock veterans, ROTC Cadets and Midshipmen to our spring Vets & Cadets ceremony, where they received their cord and challenge coin from the Veterans Alumni Council.
Welcome to the alumni family and Forever To Thee! 🇺🇸🤙

A remarkable honor for an American hero and equally remarkable @uofscalumni.
More on Medal of Honor recipient Kyle Carpenter: sc.edu/uofsc/posts/2025/01/k…
It gives me great pleasure to award @GDBIW the contract to produce the next Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, USS Kyle Carpenter (DDG-148).
In 2010, Cpl. Carpenter went above and beyond the call of duty to shield a fellow Marine from a grenade blast in Afghanistan. May this warship represent his valor, resilience and devotion to our Nation.

Thank you to USC SVA, ROTC, and the Veterans Alumni Council for the powerful tribute on Davis Field. Flags in the shape of the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and Pennsylvania were built to honor the sacrifices made and the lives changed that day.
USC Veterans Alumni Council retweeted
Today and always, we remember 9/11. We remember the lives lost, the first responders and heroes who fought bravely and took action, and every other person whose lives were changed that day. We will never forget.
Remembering the fallen. 🇺🇸
The Veterans Alumni Council alongside @USC_VetandMil, @SVAUSC and ROTC helped plant 2,977 flags on Davis Field as a memorial to the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001.
