The West Gate Memorial located at the northwest corner of Simpson Drill Field was dedicated by the Classes of '23, '24, '25, and '26 in recognition of the participation by the A&M College of Texas in World War I and of the heroic sacrifices made by 55 A&M Cadets who lost their lives.

The Corps Plaza Memorial is located at the entrance of the Quadrangle on the south side of the campus.  The memorial commemorates those Aggies who have given their lives while on active military duty since the end of World War II and include 392 Aggie names.
