The inaugural class consisted of 13 veterans spanning from World War I to post-millennium conflicts.
Contributions to the Hall of Fame support current military-affiliated students by funding initiatives and programs focused on their needs as students.

APSU has the largest number of military-affiliated students in Tennessee, with more than 25% of its population having military ties. APSU was also the first public university in the nation to build its own facility on a military installation, with the construction of the Austin Peay Center at Fort Campbell.
