The Ultimate Sacrifice Memorial on the Storrs Campus honors UConn alumni who died in service to their country. Originally dedicated during a Veterans Day ceremony in November 2008, the memorial is a 10-foot by 5-foot brick wall with a cutout in which hangs a replica of the headstones at Arlington National Cemetery. The grounds are meticulously maintained by UConn’s Landscape Department, a part of Facilities Operations.
