This Week in Pictures | 11/10/2012 - 11/16/2012

During the LSU Salutes celebration, 12 distinguished alumni were inducted into the military Hall of Honor. The inductees, all of whom must have attended LSU and served in the military, are selected based on their involvement with the university, as well as with the military and community. LSU Salutes, sponsored by the university and the Cadets of the Ole War Skule, is an annual celebration of the contributions of U.S. veterans, in particular those who attended LSU and served in ROTC. LSU's military history began more than 150 years ago when the university opened under Superintendent William Tecumseh Sherman and was never more evident than during World War II, when it boasted more officers on active duty than any other institution in the nation other than the military academies.
