| Description | "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people ch osen as his very own." ~ Psalm 33:12 These words were exce rpted from a speech General Douglas MacArthur delivered at West Point on Ma y 12, 1962. Every cadet entering the military academy receives a copy of t he General's address in its entirety. Duty. Honor. Country. Those th ree hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can b e, what you will be. They are your rallying points, to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be litt le cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn..... They mold you for future roles as the custodians of the nation's defense. They t each you to be proud and unbending in honest failure, but humble and gentl e in success; not to substitute words for actions, not to seek the path o f comfort, but to face the stress and spur of difficulty and challenge.... They teach you to be modest so that you will remember... |
