This oak tree was dedicated by the Honorable George Bush, President of the United States, on August 7, 1989, to commemorate the Bicentennial of the establishment of the War Department under the United States Constitution. It honors the men and women of the Armed Forces who, since the founding of the Republic, serve under oath to "support and defend" the Constitution.

Soils collected from Yorktown Battlefield, Virginia; Independence Hall, Philadelphia; Washington D.C.; New York City; Wyoming and Texas were deposited in the ceremony, in which the Honorable Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of Defense and the Honorable John O. Marsh, Jr., Secretary of the Army, also participated.
