The Florida Chapter would like to recognize and honor fellow OCS graduates who gave all in service to our country from 16 to 20 March.

29 Officers were killed in action. For action taken during this time, 3 graduates were given awards, one of which is the Medal of Honor and all 3 awardees have been inducted into the OCS Hall of Fame.

These men paid the ultimate sacrifice and have contributed to the honor and legacy of OCS through their service. The Army value Selfless service is defined as, "Selfless service is larger than just one person. In serving your country, you are doing your duty loyally without thought of recognition or gain. The basic building block of selfless service is the commitment of each team member to go a little further, endure a little longer, and look a little closer to see how he or she can add to the effort."
