STEPHENVILLE A new cannon with an historically significant name was unveiled today in an afternoon ceremony on the Stephenville campus of Tarleton State University.
The fully operational artillery piece, donated by benefactors Mark and Suzie McKenzie, replaces a working cannon that had been on loan from Texas A&M University.
“This gift from our longtime friends celebrates the university’s rich military heritage and symbolizes our deep appreciation for veterans,” said Tarleton President James Hurley. “It embraces many of Tarleton’s longstanding traditions. I am extremely grateful to Mark and Suzie for their generosity.”
