The awakenin g of the grass in late winter as it crouches, ready to spring into a verdant, lush spring. And through it all, the con- stancy of the traditions, and history, the monuments that mark West Point as a visible symbol of national pride. A jutting bulwark blocking the on-rushing Hudson in its race to the sea. West Point teaches us to face the rivers of change that will mark our lives with noble bearing and hum- ble dignity. 1

Thousands have come before them, and thousands will come afterward. Each will do his part; each will contribute his bit to forward the cause of our great nation. Silently present in thes e formations, of which we have stood thousands, like an invisible vapor over the crisp ranks of massed troops, is the sense of duty, honor, and country that stirs us all.
