    I had a private in my unit who after watching your video decided that his dream was to go to West Point, so we did everything we could to help him submit a successful application. He commissions next year year as class of 2024. Thanks for inspiring other people with your video.

    That calculus book cost over $300. My heart dropped when it went into the trash.

    My son has been watching your videos for years now. He is now 12 years old and decided 3 years ago that he wants to go to West Point and be a cadet. Your videos have inspired him to try and follow this dream. Your videos are amazing and you are extremely talented. Congratulations to you Austin and all the cadets graduating today. Best of luck in your future endeavors! God Bless!

    As an "old grad" from the Class of '77 as I view this video in June 2020, I want to say that it choked me up and moved me to tears. This is how we USMA grads feel when we are leaving West Point after 4 arduous but amazingly fulfilling years with our whole careers/lives ahead of us. It's a very poignant moment and this video captures it magnificently, including the majestic musical score that perfectly accents the video. Thanks for the (great) memories!

    You never cross the same river twice. You can never return, no matter how much you may dream. Some memories will fade, others will come back as though they happened yesterday. The faces of your classmates will remain forever young. You will always treasure having just been part of something bigger than yourself. USMA '77

    Class of ‘03. This video touched me big time. I spent so many moments at that place wishing I was somewhere else. And now, after all these years. many of my fondest dreams and remembrances are of the Corps, and the Corps, and the Corps.

    As there seems to be a growing division in outlook and values between older and more recent grads, your film brilliantly documents some of the most dramatic moments in the West Point experience that we've all shared or will share since Sylvanus Thayer - the day that we finally "put away the cadet grey and donned the Army blue" - a day of ending one life and and beginning a new one - and another experience that we will all likely share - honoring the memory of classmates who have gone before us.- an increasingly frequent experience over time, that cements the bonds between those of us who carry on. Well Done.

    Very emotional for this middle-aged man and seeing young men that could be my sons. The Nation is very proud of you and we love you as you'll always be our sons and daughters.

    This video was incredible, it is hard to put into words just how awe inspiring it is, and that quote on the headstone is one I'll remember always!
