Craig -- I have only been to West Point a couple of times (and they were a long time ago ...) It is truly a magnificent place in a truly beautiful location on the upper Hudson. I can only imagine what that taps must have been like.

My favorite memory, though, is my running mate for the one weekend I was there (exchange weekend), my host pointing out how the statue of George Patton faces the library ... "It's the only time he's ever seen it" was the explanation. Apparently, he wasn't such a great student ...

A salute to the Long Grey Line ... worthy brothers in arms.

Semper Fi, John
