“Forever One Team”— Graduation 2014

After 47 months, or 204 weeks, or 1,430 days, or 34,320 hours (their Facebook page even provides minutes and seconds!), the members of the Class of 2014 are ready to walk across the stage to get their diplomas, signifying their graduation from the United States Military Academy at West Point. They arrived on June 28, 2010, as mere cadet candidates who were expected to follow orders, and now they are leaving as commissioned second lieutenants who are expected to lead America’s sons and daughters in the U.S. Army.

To welcome them as members of the Long Gray Line, the West Point Association of Graduates will be hosting a Firstie Social for the Class of 2014 on May 6 and 7, 2014 (two Regiments per night). Sponsored by the Class of 1996, this event provides a night for First Class cadets to socialize in a relaxed environment, enjoy the amenities of Herbert Alumni Center, meet representatives from WPAOG, and learn about WPAOG’s mission to serve cadets, graduates, and the Long Gray Line.

WPAOG will also welcome the parents and family members of the Class of 2014 at its annual Graduation Breakfast on May 28, 2014. From 6:30am to 9:00am, WPAOG will be serving delicious baked goods (muffins, Danishes, cinnamon rolls, etc.) and warm breakfast dishes (bacon, eggs, French toast, etc.) to guests who registered for this special event. Best of all, Herbert Alumni Center, the venue for this breakfast, is only short walk from Michie Stadium, so guests will have plenty of time to find their seats before the graduates march in.
