Description of Memorial:
I'm currently a student at BCC's Cocoa campus and I happen to stumble upon this while walking through the Amphitheatre. The waymark is located at the South East entrance, and once you walk inside there is a spectacular view of Clear Lake situated in the center of the campus. A memorial plaque was placed here on November 11th 1983 and upon construction of the amphitheatre, the Wall of Honor was constructed and dedicated on November 11th, 1995 twelve years after the original placement. Since 1995 it appears to be a work in progess with the addition of Operation Iraqi Freedom to the wall, those names are listed in order of casualty.
