The obvious choice is Texas A&M.
Military roots and still very active. The Memorial Student Center has a hall where all of the Aggie Medal of Honor recipients are honored. Their deeds are written there.
The statue of Lawrence Sullivan Ross (Sully) is in front of the old Administration Building where the inscription begins "Soldier, statesman, knightly gentleman...". Several places around campus, mostly in the Corps of Cadets quadrangle hang banners that simply state "Honor".
My in-laws who attended the Aggie/Florida Gator game in 2012 were stunned by how polite and gentlemanly everyone was. Old men gave up their seats on the shuttle bus so my sister-in-law could have a seat. That is a common occurrence. Old fashioned respect for others, especially women, are instilled into students by leading by example.
As others have stated, your daughter should attend college and join ROTC. A&M supplies more officers to the armed services than any other university outside of the service academies.
It is also a top-tier research university in engineering, science, and medicine. It also has a top-tier business school.
I'm obviously very proud to be an Aggie and all that stands for. You should visit the campus in College Station, Texas and President HW Bush Presidential Library. Contact me offline if I can be of service to you.
