13th Sustainment Command Memorial Pavilion
The 13th Sustainment Command Memorial Pavilion was constructed in 2010 to honor the individuals and
units who served under the 13th Sustainment Command in both peacetime and in war since 9/11/01. The
design is a marquee that includes a monument, a wall of honor inscribed with the names of the fallen, a
walkway tribute constructed of engraved bricks, and a meditation area. The Wall of Honor pays tribute
to those Soldiers who were deployed with the 13th Sustainment Command while serving as part of the
Global War on Terrorism. The Brick Walkway honors all service to our nation by the Soldiers of the 13th,
along with the families and friends of the units.
The Monument
The monument honors individuals and units who served under the 13th Sustainment Command, in both peacetime and in war, since 9/11/01. It is an octagon-shaped obelisk topped with the insignia of the 13th that over-watches the wall of honor and contains the inscription “Remembering Those Who HaveSacrificed”.
The Wall of Honor
The Wall of Honor pays tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving as part of the 13th Sustainment Command during the War on Terror. The wall consists of eight evenly spaced black granite panels inlaid into native limestone, signifying the relationship between the 13th Sustainment Command and the state of Texas. Each panel contains the names and units of fallen service members who served in the 13th Sustainment Command or with a unit assigned or attached to the 13th in combat.
The Meditation Area
The meditation area consists of a pair of black granite benches flanking the wall of honor and set into the foundation of the pavilion. Each bench is inscribed with the previous designations of the command during its service in the War on Terror: 13th COSCOM and 13th SC(E). The area is shaded by an oak tree that symbolizes the steadfastness of the command’s Soldiers.
The Brick Walkway
The brick walkway honors service members, their friends and family, and other friends of the 13th Sustainment Command who wish to leave a lasting legacy as part of the memorial. For information about ordering a brick and/or to learn more about the 13th COSCOM Association.
The Association set aside over 1,000 spaces at the pavilion for the placement of personalized bricks. Though the memorial is complete, we intend to continue to sell bricks to finance the maintenance and upkeep of the memorial until all available spaces are filled. Tribute bricks are not limited to individuals who served under the command during the War on Terror; they may be purchased by any Soldier, family member, Veteran, community member, or supporter of the 13th Sustainment Command and the US Army. You or your veteran need not have served in the 13th Sustainment Command and could have served in any branch of the Military. We will batch orders and place the bricks at the memorial during the annual 13th Sustainment Command Birthday Week celebration.
