Alex Box was impacted the life of anyone that came into his. Many people remembered him and what he did for his country and even what he did before he entered the army.
Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt wrote a letter of condolence to the parents of Alex stating, “the deeds and death of your son have gone to make up the spiritual background that is this country.”
The superintendent of schools, R. H. Watkins said Box was a "perfect example of an athlete, a Christian gentleman, a scholar and a soldier ... His beautiful life may be compared to a great piece of music which ends on a high note.”
The students of the LSU campus had a huge movement to commemorate Alex Box, and on May 29th, 1943 the LSU Board of Supervisors decided to build a baseball stadium for Box. This stadium is still used today (although it has been renovated), people everywhere know that Alex Box stadium.
Later that year in December, the flagpole quadrangle at the Laurel Army Airfield was named the “Alex Box Quadrangle” in Lieutenant Box’s honor. The Box family were treated as honored guests as Lieutenant-Colonel Harrison W. Wellman Jr. made the dedicatory address.
In 1950, there was a commencement of the Alex Box Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, that was named after Lieutenant Box in Laurel, Mississippi.
His memorabilia is also permanently housed in the Wally Pontiff Jr. Hall of Fame as well in 1991.
