Steve, where are you at in the video? What time stamp?
Included in this post is the URL of a retired Navy officer who resides in the Philippines and publishes free pertinent veterans information twice monthly. I salute James Tichacek for his tenacity. He is a patriot, and a stunning example of the United States military philosophy.

I'm not...... :icon_doh:
I wasn't one of the "Distinguished Graduates" and then we got our degrees alphabetically by company.
The video stops at 6th Company. I was 14th.
What might require a bit of explaining though is at time ~48:30, after President Regan shook the hands of the Distinguished Graduates, he sat back down - he was not supposed to shake everyone's hand for his own health & welfare.
You see the Superintendent and the President having a few words and then as he stood back up to shake everyone's hand, the mids went nuts.
Class act - all the way.
Great day.
Cheers,
Steve
I get chills with this stuff...thanks 53
