CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Austin Peay State University Summer 2012 Military and Veteran Graduate recognition Ceremony was held on Wednesday August 8, 2012.
After the presentation of Colors by the Marine Crops League, Detachment 603, and remarks by APSU President Tim Hall, the Graduates received a coin in recognition of their accomplishment.
On one side of the coin, the eagle is prominently displayed as the nation’s symbol, along with other American patriotic elements. The University AP logo is situated at the bottom of the coin. The words, “All Hail to Those Who Serve”, were crafted from the lyrics of APSU’s alma mater and from the military’s customs and courtesies to welcome those who have joined the unit.
The other side of the coin shows an image of the clock tower atop the Browning Administration Building, generally considered the emblem of APSU. The year APSU was founded, 1927, also is noted on the bottom of the piece.
