Jimmy Mullinax, retired Army LIeutenant Colonel and combat veteran and speaker for the LIberty Memorial Day Event spoke these moving words at the conclusion of the ceremony. "And honor does not only belong on battlefields. We honor the fallen when we live worthy lives ourselves. We honor them when we love our families, serve our neighbors, keep our word, help those in need, and teach the next generation that freedom comes with a cost. We honor them when we remember that patriotism is not just something we say. It is something we live."

Grateful to Student Veterans of America for the consistent support to our chapter and for these incredible opportunities!

What a wonderful tribute to a brave hero. Thank you, Ken Scar, for this story about Andrew “Zip” Zabierek ‘00. 🇺🇸

On Memorial Day, we remember Andrew “Zip” Zabierek ’00. His story is one of the many honored on Clemson’s Scroll of Honor, a tribute that memorializes his life and service while reflecting the University’s military tradition.
