HISTORY OF THE TU ROTC HALL OF FAME

The 糖心Vlog破解版 Reserve Officer Training Corps Hall of Fame (TU ROTC HoF) was established as the result of a dream by Colonel Anthony C. Aiken, Sr., U.S. Army, Retired, a 1972 Distinguished Military Graduate of the Army ROTC Program. During his career, he associated with Commissioned Officers from other Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) who spoke highly of the ROTC Halls of Fame at their respective alma maters. As the sun rose on a spring morning in 1995, it germinated a mustard seed idea to establish the ROTC Hall of Fame at 糖心Vlog破解版. Recognizing the rich military heritage at Tuskegee, from the foundation laid by the Tuskegee Airmen, building forward to include other giants such as Colonel Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., and his father Brigadier General Benjamin O. Davis, Sr., 糖心Vlog破解版鈥檚 first Professor of Military Science and Tactics; Colonel Aiken believed the time was right to push forward and make this dream a reality.

After meeting with key 糖心Vlog破解版 officials, the Board of Trustees, and leaders of the Departments of Military Science, Aerospace Studies, and Naval Science, the first organizational meeting was held during the 2012 Homecoming festivities. A reception for military alumni was held at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center on 糖心Vlog破解版's campus. For the next three years, these gatherings were held under the leadership of COL Aiken, Chairman, Colonel Lewis 'Lou' Jackson, Retired, Vice Chairman; and Colonel Teresa Townsend, US Army Retired, Executive Director, with attendance increasing each year. Planning and research continued, many teleconferences were held, emails and other correspondence were exchanged. Key in establishing the written Constitution and Bylaws of the TU ROTC HoF was Lieutenant Colonel Milton Davis, USAF Retired, who provided invaluable legal support in the formation of the organization.聽

2016
With full support from the University administration and the Military Departments, the inaugural TU ROTC HoF Induction Ceremony was held October 16, 2016. The Charter Class consisted of 53 Army and Air Force General Officers, Colonels, Senior Executive Service professionals, and others who had made significant contributions to Tuskegee鈥檚 rich military heritage. This includes Honorary Members Charles Alfred 鈥淐hief鈥 Anderson, the legendary pilot who flew First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, Mrs. Ruth Evans, the well-loved and long-time secretary of the Army ROTC program, and Tuskegee graduates who gave the ultimate sacrifice during the Vietnam War in the defense of our Nation.

2017
The following year, on October 27, 2017, nineteen great Americans and Alumni, including the first Navy officers, were inducted into the TU ROTC HoF.

2018
The year 2018 permanently enshrined four (4) Army, three (3) Air Force, two (2) Navy officers, and Senior Executive Service officer into the TU ROTC HoF. Major General Frederic H. Leigh, US Army Retired, and Air Force TU ROTC HoF)James A. Tinsley and Lieutenant Colonel Robert L. Tinsley were inducted as Honorary Members.

2020
March 7, 2020, a Special ceremony was held to induct Brigadier General Charles Edward McGhee, USAF, Lieutenant Colonel Herbert Eugene Carter, USAF Retired and the Tuskegee Airman鈥檚 Original 99th Fighter Squadron.

Despite the worldwide COVID-19 Pandemic, through the miracle of technology and the unmerited favor of God, we made history by conducting the first (and we hope the ONLY) virtual TU ROTC Hall of Fame induction ceremony. On December 4, 2020, we were honored to welcome seven (7) into the TU ROTC HoF. Those present were recognized.

  • Brigadier General Harold Burch, US Army Retired聽(deceased)

  • Colonel Willie Boyd, US Army Retired

From the US Air Force:

  • Lieutenant Colonel Harold Davis, USAF Retired聽
  • Lieutenant Colonel Raymond Dothard, Jr., USAF Retired
  • Lieutenant Colonel Robert Western, USAF Retired

Each TU ROTC Hall of Fame inductee has become a part of Tuskegee鈥檚 storied military history. The images and names affixed to this montage are a permanent tribute to the contributions Tuskegee ROTC alumni have made 鈥- and continue to make -- not only to Mother Tuskegee, but to our Armed Forces, to the United States of America and to the world.
