Research project leads to Memorial to the Fallen

Play 

As part of a research project, UTA history students compiled the names of every service member from Arlington who died while serving during wartime. That list became the basis for an online database maintained by UTA’s Department of History and Geography. Accessible via a QR code located at the Memorial to the Fallen in Arlington's Veterans Park, the database includes biographical details, photographs, newspaper clippings, and other archival materials for each individual. UTA’s military heritage dates to the early 20th century, when the University was Carlisle Military Academy. That tradition continues today, with the University recognized as one of the nation’s top institutions for supporting veterans and military-connected students.
