Oklahoma Military Academy
Oklahoma Military Academy was established in 1919. For 52 years, young cadets developed to their fullest---mentally, morally and physically. They were taught the responsibility of defending the land of the free and the home of the brave. The ones honored by this monument carried the full burden of this responsibility. This is intended to be a hallowed place dedicated to the recognition of all those of College Hill who have served and will serve their country.
