The Patriots Plaza


Inspired by the University of South Dakota student veterans and joined by others in the USD family, the Pastriots Plaza will feature an impressive display of American, South Dakota, POW/MIA and USD flags honoring three USD alumni Medal of Honor recipients, other veterans and the centennial of Army ROTC at USD. 

Importance to USD: 

Funded by private gifts and located on the mall between the Beacom School of Business and the USD School of Law, the Patriots Plaza will remind future students and others of the sacrifices of military service and provide an appropriate site for observance of patriotic holidays and related events.
