From the flag pole

I am happy to report that the large plaque east of the statue has been completely restored.  We have been unhappy that the bricks were breaking loose, that has been fixed.  Before the bricks were replaced the sub-base was checked to make sure the foundation was solid and it was sealed before the bricks were replaced and sealed.  Even though it lays flat, with the new tech products used it should be in good condition for many years.

TO ALL CADETS

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE CORPS 50+ to 80+ OUR NUMBERS HAVE BEGAN TO DIMINISH AT AN INCREASED RATE. THE 2023 REUNION MARKS THE 49th YEAR OF THE CLOSING OF PMA, BECAUSE OF CADET AGE'S THE PASSING OF THE GUARD IS UPON US, AND THE COMPLETION OF THE PARK AND MUSEUM, AND OUR 48th YEAR ANNIVERSARY. IF YOU EVER INTENDED TO ATTEND ANOTHER REUNION DO IT THIS YEAR. WE HAVE A GREAT PROGRAM PLANNED WITH GOOD FOOD (PROVIDED BY THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION) AND SPECIAL ENTERTAINMENT WILL BE HELD IN THE 5 STAR OSAGE CASINO AND HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER IN PONCA CITY.

PMA Narrative History    

Here is a short narrative history of PMA.    

Note: Some of the links in the document do not work at this time. The web addresses seem to have changed.

PMA added to the Oklahoma Historical Places

Cadet Dennis Shockley worked with the state of Oklahoma for historical places to have PMA added Shockley did a masterful job of telling the story of PMA. The sign was installed by the city park department under the direction of cadet Hayes. This sign places PMA permanently in Oklahoma history something the cadets can always be proud of.
