This morning President Donald Trump gave the commencement address before the 1,107 graduating members of West Point's 2020 Class.
White House spokesman Judd Deere said: “Saturday’s graduation is about these incredible cadets and their amazing accomplishments, and as the commander in chief, President Trump wants to celebrate that and thank them for their service to our country.”
From today's commencement address:
"This premier military academy produces only the best of the best -- the strongest of the strong -- and the bravest of the brave. West Point is a universal symbol of American gallantry, loyalty, devotion, discipline, and skill."
"To the 1,107 who today become the newest officers in the most exceptional Army ever to take the field of battle, I am here to offer America's salute. Thank you for answering your nation's call" .....President Donald Trump.
The stage is be set up in front of the massive Washington Hall, where the cadets take their meals. It was there, in May 1962, that the most famous West Point speech was delivered. Weeks before President John F. Kennedy addressed the Class of 1962, Gen. Douglas MacArthur gave his "Duty, Honor, Country" speech to the corps of cadets in the Mess Hall.

Disrespect, dishonor, self interest ..... liberal leftist motto
