Commander-in-Chief THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON December 9, 1991 Congratulations to the members of the 1992 graduating class of the United States Military Academy. In recent years, the world has changed at a pace not seen since World War II. Around the globe, communist regimes have crumbled while freedom and democracy have carried the day. Determined to promote the rule of law and the peaceful resolution of disputes, we have also entered a new era of international cooperation. The United States Armed Forces have played an important role in these developments. Through- out the long years of the Cold War, our men and women in uniform embodied America's commitment to freedom. During your past four years at West Point alone, the United States has answered calls for help from places as far-flung as Panama and the Persian Gulf. As you take your places in the Long Gray Line, you show that tomorrow's Army will continue to meet the challenges of a changing world by promoting peace and progress through strength and security. With your graduation from this great institu- tion, you inherit a legacy of professionalism, patriotism, and honor. By achieving the highest standards of military training, you have proved that you are ready to meet America's changing defense needs, both at home and abroad. I salute each member of the class of '92 and send best wishes for your continuing success. God bless you. Chain of Command 19
