Having chosen to become a leader, you now bear the great responsibility of service: to the soldier and to the country. The reputation of the Long Gray Line, established by your predecessors, is now in your hands. Your motto, We Strengthen the Line, shows that you are aware of your charge and are ready to accept the challenge. May your every effort reflect your motto as you strengthen America itself. Your experience at West Point has been marked by change and growth. Changes have taken place at the Academy: changes have taken place within each of you. You have grown through your associations with others in your Class. You know what to expect of them, as they know what to expect of you. Your class camaraderie will be fostered by the memories recorded in this HOWITZER of 1989. As you join the larger Army, your responsibilities include strengthening other men and women by imparting the strong sense of purpose and pride embodied by our motto: Duty, Honor, Country. You have much to contri- bute, and I know you will serve our nation well. I extend to you a heartfelt Godspeed! Sincerely, .Harms Dave R.

HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY Office of the Commandant of Cadets West Point, New York 10996 24 May 1989 TO THE CLASS or 1989 Each class that has graduated from the Military Academy has faced a world where conflict and peace seemed to exist unknowingly to each other. Our Army has always had to be prepared to assume both roles - as warriors and as peacekeepers. The prospects for peace loom greater today than at any time since the last world war. Yet the most predictable part remains the unpredictable. You and the soldiers under your command and trust must always be prepared when called on. You will be expected to maintain a level of professional standards and knowledge that will ensure that our Anny is trained and ready. Your own personal development and growth will be the best example you can set for your soldiers. If you seek excellence, so will they. Your unit and its mission will be the test of your efforts. Make training exciting and demanding. Recall your days on the training fields at West Point and you will remember it wasn't true that practice makes perfect. Only PERFECT practice makes perfect! Congratulations and best wishes for future success. F. A. RDEN Brigadier General, USA Commandant of Cadets Qing CO1'I1IH31'1d3I'1t,S Front Row: COL C. Iohnson, COL I. Gross, BG F. Gorden, COL S.
