"The memorial contains the names of College of the Ozarks alumni who fought in the armed services and paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives.
In 2013 a new memorial was erected and dedicated to replace an earlier memorial which had become weathered, and was not large enough to accommodate additional names. When the original memorial was placed in 1983, two names, Melvin Smith who attended S of O in the 1940s and Anthony Blair, S of O HS class of 1962, were inadvertently not listed. The new memorial pays tribute to Smith and Blair, and other sons of the School of the Ozarks who paid the ultimate sacrifice."
