It was a good meeting, no drama, lots of discussion. The eight class officers were there: John Connors, TJ Young, Bill Cater, Frank Monaco, Charlie McGee, Steve Strom, Barney Forsythe and myself. The five class committee chairmen were there: John Van Vliet, Kurt Reineke, Steve Wilson, Bill Taylor, and Gil Harper. Two of their deputies were there: Billy Malkemes and Billy Joe Alexander.<br class="" />Each of these men gave a report. None of the things we handle are going to shake the ground, but they are part of the life and operation of our class, so they have meaning for us.<br class="" /><br class="" /></span></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">No big problems. Slow but steady progress is happening on their initiatives, all aimed at consensus, cohesion and inclusion. The committee unanimously approved the charter for Gil Harper’s Special Ops Committee, and Billy Malkemes, chairing its Awards subcommittee, laid out some plans in the works--- more later on that. Bill has some interesting things lined up. <br class="" /><br class="" /></span></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">John Van Vliet and his large committee are working to determine what the best way is to meet the needs of our widows, widowers and children and grandchildren, in a way that is sensible and sensitive.

We have a head count of 52 classmates and many of their spouses. Mess hall operations are all cancelled except for cadets, so we will have festivities in the WP Club and at the Hilton Woodcliff Lake.

He also reminds us of the fine efforts of Lynn Moore and Ted Shadid to get the MacArthur Cup done, and of the support Dave Brown kept up for this project when interest was waning. He kept it alive. All four served the class and the Academy with Integrity, as usual.<br class="" /><br class="" /></span></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Kurt Reineke’s committee has some coordinating to do and then there will be a query, looking for the class’s consensus, coming out.

He and Crash Werner are working together very strongly on the memorial effort for our fallen Brothers. Also important.<br class="" /><br class="" /></span></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">John Connors has reviewed everything we do for legality and sense, and his discernment is flawless.

It’s very good to have him there.<br class="" /><br class="" /></span></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">The class officers and the class committee chairs have spontaneously formed partnerships and alliances to work for the collective wishes of the class.

Earl faced interesting times as </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">Assembly </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">ceased publishing and other forms of media and communications began. As one of our classmates recently told me, he got comfortable with receiving a magazine every few months in the mail. And then it stopped.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">All the current media venues will continue with Facebook, “USMA 1970” page as the de-facto principal and fastest way to share and inform. With about half the class on Facebook, others deserve to read about and see class activities. I hope the </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">Class Notes </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">helps fill a void. I will work closely with </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700;">Frank Monaco </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">(the glue that holds us together) on this process. Frank and I (and </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700;">Marty Knorr</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">) started working together on 1 July 1966 as Beast Barracks roommates – so the circle of life continues. Together with Frank we will determine the medium for widespread distribution.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">I also welcome any ideas and recommendations to aid in the communication amongst all of us. I encourage and welcome information that classmates would like to share – children and grandchildren accomplishments, gatherings, awards, and happenings.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">A most poignant comment came from another Scribe who said he can only publish we what he receives. I encourage and welcome your information to enhance our class communications and engagement.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">Looking forward to the ride.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700;">Transitions:<br />Jim “Sully” Sullivan </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">and </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700;">Dave Brown </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">smoothly transitioned class presidency. Sully has the commitment and dedication from Dave who now serves as class president emeritus to draw upon his years of experience and connections. Continuing in key roles are </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700;">John Connors, Barney Forsythe, Bill Carter, Terry Young, Frank Monaco, Steve Strom.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700;">Start-Up</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">Sully has commissioned several committees that are going through their initial start-up growing pains. The intent to continue and foster communications, inclusion, and engagement. Of note is </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700;">Steve Wilson’s </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">committee will focus on completing classmate memorials. Memorials defined as formal obituaries published through AOG in the TAPS magazine. Of the 95 deceased graduated classmates, about half remain for memorialization. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700;">Bob Werner </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">is the front man for the process.

Scheduling formal presentation of the award which was announced nearly two years ago has been affected by the pandemic. Bill’s leadership and business acumen are success stories for the growth of MTV during his years as CEO of MTV International. Yet, more outstanding is his work started years ago to eradiate HIV/AIDs. A work that grew to attack other infectious disease worldwide. Throughout that journey he was always the humble, stoic, and focused individual we knew.<br />For a closer, personal view of Bill, the West Point Center for Oral History has an interview at:</span><span style="color: #0561c1; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">https://www.westpointcoh.org/interviews/from-air-defense-officer-to-entertainment-pioneer</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700;">Sightings:<br />Dick Beahm </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">is gearing up for his annual Multiple Sclerosis bike ride. He will participate in the Washington DC ride on August 29, 2021, in Reston Virginia with his “Weeda Beahm Team”. Dick has been riding in the MS Bike Ride since 1994 and personally raised over $371K.

font-size: 12px;">Brothers,</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> We just had a meeting of the class officers and the committee chairs. </div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> Things are routine---no drama. </div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> We did get the sad news today of the death of John Decker, a combat infantryman who led a rifle platoon for a year in the 196th, with John Vermillion and Larry White, and I am sure others of our class. John was and is a great guy-- may God rest his valiant soul. He is our 96th fallen member. He was in H-1, and was born in North Carolina.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> On another note, we are getting sign-ups at the hotel and for the football game-- about 80 so far-- for Bill Roedy's festivities for the Distinguished Graduate Award, 10-12 September. Bill Taylor--the hardest working man in show biz, with his newly revascularized leg, his fresh-from-the-hospital duty status, and his four jobs-- has sent out a poop sheet, and will continue to refine the info. AOG also will publish a registration site. We are all invited-- the entire class-- to dinner in the mess hall that weekend, 10-12 September. We will be doing a bit of partying down at the hotel also.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> AOG is shy some email addresses for us. If you want to be known and reachable, you can contact AOG at <a class="" href="mailto:address@wpaog.org">address@wpaog.org</a> and get them straight. This would help us achieve inclusion and consensus also.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> Betsey Blakeslee, Doc's wife, is running the preservation project for the fortifications on Fortress West Point. We can probably play a role in publicizing and lending moral support. That's about it for now, since we have just made a sizeable contribution to the effort. But this is a 12 million dollar effort, so our role will now be other than financial. John Connors is on the board of the project, as is Joe Reeder, and they will see what we can do, if anything is needed. Meantime, Pat Sculley's son Sean, a full bull and permanent professor, is involved with the tour of the redoubts-- he may fix us up with a tour during the 10-12 Sep weekend. That's up in the air for now.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> I hope everyone got a chance to see Vic Madeja's poop sheet on helping veterans with claims. Vic is a source of encyclopedic info on this topic.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> All the committees are making progress. Getting organized and started has its bumps in the road, but we are plowing along and hoping for results to start coming. Steve Wilson has got a feel for a work result even before Christmas, when I thought it would be coming. He will be making appointments from among volunteers to get his network together.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> Kurt Reineke and his IC3 crew had a commo exercise this week that revealed a bunch of things to iron out--- good, glad we tried it. Our consensus machine will get built an inch at a time. Kurt reports that all members of the network are fully committed and working at it with a will.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> John Van Vliet and his committee heads, Donna Jackson (Billy's widow), Rick Thibodeau, Tom Rozman and Nick Sebastion are going to be looking for volunteers to man the "expertise pods" for advising and mentoring our thousands of children and grandchildren. Be on the lookout for their request for help.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> Gil Harper is standing by, waiting for something to happen. So far, everything is cool.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> Our finances are sound--we have five funds and they are all in the black and well propped up for the long haul. Bill Cater has them in hand.All are fully funded with some excess.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> I have signed the MacArthur Cup Award endowment, with advice from our legal watchdog and VP, John Connors. AOG will take receipt of our check soon.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> The golf event is coming up from 29 Aug--4 Sep, and the NCEA is 18-19 October. Those and the Distinguished Graduate Award round out the fall calendar, and then we beat the hell out of Navy.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> Bill Taylor and I will get a class-wide zoom together as soon as we can, hopefully with a theme and a speaker, or at least an agenda. In the meantime, we have a 4th Regimental zoom which I have been hosting for about 15 months. The guest list keeps getting bigger. There is no agenda, it is free-form and somewhat unpredictable, but all opinions are respected and welcome, and no disrespect or discourtesy is tolerated.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> If you would like to get on it (usually Tuesday and Friday at 2pm central) please send me an email with your address and I will add you to the invite roster. My email is <a class="" href="mailto:papasully7023@gmail.com">papasully7023@gmail.com</a></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> God bless everybody.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Serve With Integrity</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Beat Navy</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Sully</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><div class="" style="-webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space; word-wrap: break-word;">PS: In addition to keeping AOG (and our class) informed of your updated contact information (send updates to <a class="" href="mailto:address@wpaog.org">address@wpaog.org</a>), please stay tuned to our class web page (<a class="" href="http://usma1970.com/">http://usma1970.com</a>), our class Facebook Group (<a class="" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/usma1970">https://www.facebook.com/groups/usma1970</a>), and our class blog at <a class="" href="http://usma1970.blogspot.com/">http://usma1970.blogspot.com</a> </div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />USMA 1970http://www.blogger.com/profile/03260389957405383201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680242913291247716.post-34784852544254992122021-07-18T06:53:00.002-07:002021-07-18T06:53:33.011-07:00Vic Madeja on the Veterans Administration<p> <span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Brothers,</span></p><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><div> Vic Madeja has been working on veterans' issues for decades now.

He is a class act all the way.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.693333625793457px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> I am directing that our four original class officers be awarded in perpetuity the title “Emeritus.” They are: Dave Brown, President Emeritus; Barney Forsythe, Vice-President Emeritus; Tom Schmidt, Secretary Emeritus; John Stetor, Treasurer Emeritus. Each of these men is invited to sit in on any executive committee meeting, and I ask Frank Monaco to keep them on the distribution list unless they decline being on the list. I also ask Frank to place their names and titles on our website.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.693333625793457px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> In our constitution it states that the job of the class executive committee is to pursue “the collective wishes of the class.” To me this means achieving class consensus. To this end, I have formed five committees: Class Family Committee; Intra-Class Communications Committee; Class Biography Committee; Class Activities Committee and Class Special Ops Committee. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.693333625793457px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> The Class Family Committee is chaired by John Van Vliet. He has three sub-committees (Widows, Widowers and SCORE—business operations involving our children and grandchildren). He will need at least 120 volunteers, and we are asking for men to come forward.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.693333625793457px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> The Intra-Class Communications Committee will be chaired by Kurt Reineke and is the heart of the reach for consensus. This committee/network is the commo channel between and among class members and class officers. If as a class we can’t reach consensus, we’ll have a referendum where everyone gets an opportunity to weigh in. I’m committed to everyone having an opportunity to have a say. Kurt will need volunteers.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.693333625793457px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> Steve Wilson will chair the Class Biography Committee. His objective is to foster cohesion, communication and close contact, giving each man his day in the sun with a biographical greeting, on his birthday, before all his brothers, alive or dead, until our last day. This is complicated, and Steve is the guy who can get this done. Steve will need volunteers too. If anyone does not want their information published, please contact Frank Monaco and let him know.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.693333625793457px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> Bill Taylor will chair the Class Activities Committee. He will handle all future reunions and will serve as co-chair with Frank Monaco for whatever we can get going for a reunion before the 55<sup>th</sup> reunion. Bill will run the Distinguished Graduate Award (DGA) festivities now for Billy Roedy. God willing, we will have other DGA’s in the future. Bill may need volunteers as well.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.693333625793457px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> Now is the time to mention that Pat Thornton has retired from reunion management. He has done yeoman’s duty and we all owe Pat a debt of gratitude. Thank you, Brother, for all that work on our behalf.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.693333625793457px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> The last committee is the Special Ops Committee. There are things that will come up, highs and lows, pleasurable or challenging, that we will have to handle as a class. It is good for a unit to have a contingency setup, a Reaction Force, if you will. That’s Gil Harper. He saved us when the NCEA was under assault and we had a logistical nightmare. Most of the unforeseen contingencies have that in common—they are log nightmares. Gil has been there, in the Transportation Corps, in Panama, in Somalia, in other spots around the world—he’s our Log Boss. He might be in need of volunteers also.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.693333625793457px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"> The Class Officers have unanimously approved these appointments. These five men will sit on the class executive committee, attend all executive committee meetings and have authority in their areas of responsibility, while reporting to the executive committee. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;

As we approach Memorial Day, we ask all to take a moment to reflect upon and honor those many thousands of brave men and women who have served our great Nation in uniform and who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our way of life and the freedoms we all enjoy. We also take this occasion to think of our many classmates and military friends and family who are no longer with us. Sadly, our classmate loses continue to mount every passing year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Our soldiers of today continue to serve in harm's way, particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq, where we have lost so many lives, and where more will undoubtedly give their last full measure of devotion in sacrifice for us. Their loved ones and families continue to worry about them and their safety while they are deployed and preparing to deploy.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The Class of 1970 Cyber Leaders Conference is a reality! Thanks to your generosity, as of the end of January, we officially passed the $2.5 million dollar goal to endow this great legacy gift. This is a noteworthy tribute to our class and is much appreciated by our Alma Mater. We are working to finalize all contractual details with the Association of Graduates and the Army Cyber Institute, and LTG(R) Rhett Hernandez (head of the ACI) will brief us on the timing and scope of the Conference at our Class business meeting during the reunion. Congratulations to each of you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Having said that, the 50<sup>th</sup> Reunion Gift Campaign is not over – it will continue until our reunion. We have 2 more opportunities: to achieve the stretch goal of 88% participation and to to fund (most if not all) of the two contingency gifts. Those gifts are: (1) Endowment of the MacArthur Cup and (2) a contribution to jumpstart the Revoutionary War Site Restoration/Augmented Reality Staff Ride. More to follow on these topics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It is not easy to estimate the exact amount of our overage at this time, for a variety of reasons. What we can say for certain (as confirmed by AOG campaign data) is that we have surpassed the primary $2.5 million target. If we are successful in raising additional funding before the campaign ends in May, we will be able to not only fund the Cyber Leaders Conference, we will be able to fund both contingency gifts – a truly remarkable legacy for our class. As our campaign continues to evolve, we will have the unique opportunity to make a significant contribution as the “lead class” in support of the Army’s (and the Nation’s) celebration that will take place in the year 2025.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">If you have not yet contributed, or wish to increase your pledge, please consider doing so. Be assured that any additional funds collected beyond this date will go toward funding the contingency gifts. As we get closer to the reunion (sometime in April) I will publish one last email to the class which will include an Executive Committee recommendation concening the contingency gifts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Participation Rates. </span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The current participation rate for the campaign for our class is at 82%, which is the second highest ever recorded by AOG for a reunion gift campaign – this is another remarkable achievement. We set a stretch goal of 88% which was attained by the Class of 1964 and the highest recorded by AOG. Please see the “stoplight chart” below. This chart has been distributed to our Regimental and Company campaign reps for the past several months to help us track participation rate progress. As you can see from the legend, is shows company participation rate (within a range) from Blue to Red. As of the end of January, 23 companies are either Blue or Green (with 5 companies at 100% participation) and 13 companies are Yellow or Red. Fourth Regiment has an overall participation rate of 90% showing that the stretch goal is achievable. This chart has shown steady improvement since we first started using it over 2 years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
The West Point Class of 1970 is pleased to join with the West Point Society of Annapolis in nominating William Harvey</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Roedy Jr (Cullum Number 29459) as a Distinguished Graduate of the United States Military Academy. Known to millions</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Bill Roedy Jr. entered West Point on July 1, 1966 with the Class of 1970. In multiple careers, he has clearly distinguished</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
himself in everything he has pursued since graduation, always personifying the ideals of Duty, Honor, Country throughout</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
his lifetime of global service in both the public and private sectors. Bill has had a positive impact on billions of human lives.</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Service Medal. After a distinguished career entirely in the field, Bill resigned from the Army in 1977 to attend Harvard</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Business School, following his father who graduated from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government 30 years earlier.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Media Pioneer and CEO</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Graduating from Harvard in 1979 with an MBA, Bill began his pioneering journey to distinguished international business</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
success, ultimately touching the lives of more than two billion people in over 200 countries.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Home Box Office (1979 to 1989)</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Bill joined HBO the early days of the Cable TV industry (1979) when it was driving a television revolution. As Director of</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
HBO’s National Accounts, he negotiated deals with the largest cable operators. These deals created massive distribution,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
access and scale. For his role in the emerging cable business, Bill was later honored as a Cable TV Pioneer in 2011.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
MTV Europe (1989 to 2004)</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
In 1989 Bill moved to London to lead MTV Networks Europe (MTVNE). Starting with a single channel, operating only in</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Holland and Greece he rapidly expanded the business throughout Europe. The cable industry in Europe was in its infancy</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
and MTV pioneered a variety of content delivery methods including satellite, cable and terrestrial transmission. Bill’s first</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
challenge was to expand the distribution of the channels to cover all of Europe. He adapted the mantra of ‘aggressive,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
creative, relentless distribution’. This he accomplished working through the political, cultural and regulatory challenges of</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
each country. His key achievement was development of a localization model that empowered each MTV operation to</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
embrace both commercial and artistic autonomy, finding the best balance between local and international content. Bill</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
pioneered the strategy of respecting and reflecting audience diversity through local language, music, fashion,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
geopolitical issues and children’s programming.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
MTV Networks International (2004 to 2011)</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Following his remarkable success with MTV Networks Europe, Bill was promoted to Chairman and CEO of MTV Networks</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
International (MTVNI) as well as Vice Chairman of its parent company, MTV Networks. He took charge of launching 20</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
different brands, expanding the reach to Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. The localization</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
strategy proved to be the key success factor in countries as politically and culturally diverse as China, Russia, Saudi</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Arabia and India, thus opening these new markets to new and informative programming. He took an immensely</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
successful American business model, gave it multiple dialects, and expanded it throughout the world. His Choose or Lose</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
campaigns were used to encourage first time voting in fledgling democracies from Russia to Taiwan.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Under Bill’s leadership MTV built a global operation of over 200 channels in more than 200 countries, broadcast in over</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
any other media entity in history. Bill was also responsible for the development and operation of the Nickelodeon</div>

channel and consumer products for kids, plus the Comedy Channel for adults. MTVNI is the largest media network in the</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
countless disaster reliefs efforts, from the 2005 Asian tsunami to the 2010 Haiti earthquake, where Bill helped to dedicate</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
a new hospital to replace the one destroyed. Among his many awards, Bill was chosen as Midem ‘Person of the Year’ in</div>

2003, received the International Emmy Founders Award in 2004 and was inducted into the Cable Hall of Fame in <span style="color: black;">2015</span>.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Global Health Leader</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Bill understood early on that MTVNI had a global reach that could be a positive force for good in the world. Under his</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
guidance MTVNI pioneered the concept of corporate responsibility that is universally adopted in business today. In</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
parallel he took leadership positions in multiple Global Health initiatives.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Under Bill’s leadership MTVNI became the corporate world leader in fighting HIV/AIDS. Through MTVNI’s Staying Alive</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
campaign Bill led the brand’s global efforts to promote HIV/AIDS education, prevention and anti-stigma. The campaign has</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
produced award-winning HIV/AIDS related documentaries, concerts, town halls and public service announcements, all of</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
which were made available rights free at no cost to broadcasters. Bill continues to serve as the Chairman of the Staying</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Alive Foundation fighting a broad range of health issues at the grass roots level to complement MTVNI’s efforts.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
In 1998 Bill was named the first ever Ambassador for UNAIDS (the joint United Nations program on HIV/AIDS). During this</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
time, the Executive Director of UNAIDS made the memorable statement that, “MTV can save more lives than doctors.” He</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
has addressed the UN General Assembly on at least four occasions regarding the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and he was the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
General Assembly keynote speaker, along with Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, at the 2010 Model UN.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Bill also served as the founding Member and Chair of the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS from 1999-2002. For this</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
work he was awarded the ‘Business Leadership Award’ presented by the US President, Bill Clinton.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
In April 2005, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan appointed Bill as founding Chair of the Global Media AIDS Initiative</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
(GMAI) Leadership Committee. The GMAI was launched in 2004 with 22 participants. Under Bill’s leadership it grew to</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
include 140 companies from 70 countries. For his work with the UN, Bill received the ‘Global Citizen Award’ presented by</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in 2009.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
In 2018 Bill was elected Chairman of the widely respected American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR), the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
preeminent HIV/AIDS research initiative. AmfAR’s recent accomplishments include dramatic progress with both lifesaving</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
treatment as well as breakthrough developments in preventing HIV. To date amfAR has invested over $500M with over</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
3,000 grants for research enabling breakthrough scientific results adding to prevention and treatment as well as targeting</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
a Countdown to a Cure (C2C) with groundbreaking gene therapy by 2020. That cure is now on the cusp of reality.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Also, in 2018 Bill was elected Vice Chairman for the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI). GAVI is a</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
multi-lateral and multinational effort launched by Bill and Melinda Gates to stop preventable diseases, primarily with</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
children around the world. Bill was initially appointed as the first Envoy/Ambassador for GAVI in 2010 by Mary Robinson,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
then the GAVI Chair and the former President of Ireland. Bill helped fundraising of over $7.5B, enabling GAVI to spend over</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
$2B a year, strengthening health systems in poorer and fragile countries – in Africa and from India to Yemen – delivering</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
vaccines of 12 leading immunizations, from pneumonia to rotavirus. Just this year GAVI responded to epidemic outbreaks,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
including Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with 300,000 emergency vaccines, stopping the potential repeat</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
of disasters experienced in West Africa three years ago. With Bill’s leadership, this mega operation has vaccinated over</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
760 million children around the world preventing more than 13 million children’s deaths.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Bill is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations as well as the United States Middle East Project (USMEP), promoting</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
peace, policy and stability in the Middle East. He supports Seeds of Peace, a leadership development organization</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
on the art of intelligent perseverance.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Just this year, based upon his totally unique international business experience, Bill was invited by Secretary of State</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Mike Pompeo, USMA 1986, to participate in the State Department's new Foreign Policy Advisory Board. This prestigious</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Advisory Board, where Bill is an active participant, is chaired by Distinguished Graduate Bob Kimmitt, USMA 1969.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Bill is a long-time ardent devotee of Sir. Winston Churchill. Inspired by Churchill’s famous “Iron Curtain” speech delivered</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
as the Green Lecturer at Westminster College, Fulton, MO in 1946, Bill was invited in 2013 to deliver that same Green</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Lecture, joining the likes of Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher, Lech</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Walesa, and of course Churchill with that honor. At that time, he told the story of freedom and the fall of the Iron</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Curtain. Bill was selected as a Churchill Fellow in 2017 and will be further honored by the Churchill Museum in 2020. He</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
owns Churchill’s WWII apartment as well as two of his paintings, as acknowledged in the latest Churchill biography.</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
The crowning achievements of Bill Roedy’s career and life are measured in the billions (literally) of lives he has positively</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
affected. The roots of his work are found in West Point’s Motto “Duty, Honor, Country,” extended to the World.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Profit has never been Bill Roedy’s primary business motivator. While enormous profit ultimately accrued as MTV Europe</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
and MTV International grew to become the world’s largest media empire, Bill’s mantra, “Doing good is good for business,”</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
was always the underlying driving force. Some of Bill’s early decisions had no precedent in global business, with no</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
apparent near-term return on investment, but were visionary in their ultimate impact on our World.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
While Bill will never claim credit for MTV bringing down the Berlin Wall and the demise of communism in the Eastern Block</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
and Soviet Union, when you examine the facts there is clearly a cause and effect relationship with his actions. MTV was a</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
catalyst for all that followed. When Bill took charge at the fledgling MTV Europe in January 1989, he made two crucial</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
creative decisions that would ultimately affect our entire world for generations to come. Bill immediately ordered access</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
to the new KU band satellite. That was crucial because the KU band satellite required only a 60cm diameter dish, where</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
the existing S band required a 3m dish. The KU band dish could be ordered by anyone with $1,000, even from behind the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Iron Curtain. The second crucial decision was to NOT encrypt the signal. This meant that anyone with an antenna could</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
access programming. Thus, satellite reception and free access to programming became a possibility for almost everyone in</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
the Eastern Block. The results were astounding. Satellite antennas quickly sprung up all over the Poland, Hungary, Berlin,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Romania. By the fall of 1989 there were more MTV subscribers behind the Iron Curtain than</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
in Western Europe. Through the commercials viewers behind the Iron Curtain saw how people in the West lived, and</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
they too wanted to live like that. The rest as they say is history.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
In early fall of 1989 Bill was invited to speak in East Berlin. Bill agreed, on the condition that MTV be authorized to hook up</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
every hotel and conference center in East Berlin. The East Germans agreed to the demand and Bill was there with a TV</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
crew and technicians who hooked them up as promised. Two days later</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
the Berlin Wall fell. The iconic photo of two East German soldiers standing</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
on the wall that day with the MTV umbrella became a symbol for unity and</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
peace, as well as freedom from communist rule for 100’s of millions of</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
citizens behind the Iron Curtain. As Bill noted at the time,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
“My life went from missiles to music. From the Iron Curtain to the red</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
carpet. From the DMZ to MTV. The immense force of the missiles could</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
not do what the power of technology and music and commercials could</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
do. We used the reunification . . . and used the unity . . . and this became</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
our mission . . . our mantra, ‘breaking down barriers.’”</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Through Bill Roedy’s role as a worldwide Media Pioneer and CEO and Global Health leader the lives of billions of people</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
have been touched positively, an unmatched scale of influence. He took the American values of freedom and democracy</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
to the far corners of the world. His influence in the Global Health community continues to grow with his roles as Chairman</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
of amfAR (fighting HIV/AIDS) and Vice Chair of GAVI (providing billions of vaccines around the world), as well as leading 6</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
other global health initiatives.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
His life continues to be guided by the West Point motto, ‘Duty, Honor, County’. Bill Roedy’s many continuing</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
accomplishments clearly reflect all that he learned at West Point and has lived throughout his life of service to our nation</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
and the world. Bill has been a generous supporter of all Class Fund projects, including the current Cyber Leaders</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Conference. Finally, Bill is a dedicated family man, married to his wife Alexandra and father to their four children.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
It is time for this pioneering fighter for freedom and global health to be formally honored as a Distinguished Graduate of</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
the United States Military Academy. And what could be more appropriate at the time of the 50<span style="font-size: 7px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">th </span>Reunion of the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
graduation of his Class of 1970, whose motto is “Serve With Integrity.”</div>

I just noticed that effective Jan 1, 2020, Veterans with 0 - 90% disability will be allowed access to commissary and base exchange privileges. Previously, access was limited to 100% disability. This may be of interest to some class members who did not retire, but have a service connected disability.<br />

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Retired Maj. Gen. James Snider graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in 1970 and served 32 years as an officer in the Army. As a 50-Year Affiliate graduate, he joined cadets during their Branch Night Wednesday alongside other graduates.<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><br />He took some time to share with the Pointer View details about his career as well as provided advice for graduating cadets as they embark on their new journey.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">PV: What do you consider the highlight of your career?</span><br />JS: “There were several. The Army gave me the opportunity to get a Ph.D. in aeronautical engineering. After that, I worked at a joint project office to build simulations for Star Wars, a strategic defense initiative by President (Ronald) Reagan to be able to shoot down any type of nuclear missile coming down. It was a huge deal back then, in fact, it was one of the things that forced the collapse of the Soviet Union because they could not keep up with what President Reagan was doing.<br />“So that was a super-secret program that I enjoyed, but I think as far as the Army goes, I got into acquisition and being a program manager of both the Apache helicopter program and the Comanche helicopter program, those were big highlights.”</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">PV: How much time in service was it before you took on these types of responsibilities?</span><br />JS: “When I worked for the SGI Star Wars program, that was in 1989 and when I was the Apache program manager, I was a colonel, and then a one star as the program manager for the Comanche job. But there were highlights all throughout my career like working at the Pentagon and flying in aviation.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">PV: Of all the different experiences you had, which one would you say is your favorite and why?</span><br />JS: “I would say when I was the program manager of the Comanche program. That program was cancelled about five or six years ago, but the prime contractors gained so much knowledge by developing the helicopter, which was a super sophisticated helicopter.<br />“The reason the program was cancelled was because we got into the Iraq wars. The program was unaffordable up against all the other things we needed to buy in aviation and sustaining the Apache and the Black Hawk fleet.”</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">PV: Do you believe the training you received at West Point prepared you or benefited your career and can you name an example of when you recognized that?</span><br />JS: “Absolutely. The discipline for one thing, and West Point really taught us to present ideas in a succinct fashion. We were expected to get ideas out very concisely and quickly. Also, I think the Army value system that West Point puts a lot of emphasis on helps us carry them throughout our whole career.<br />“I would say I did get a Ph.D. in a mathematical discipline back when everyone got an engineering degree. Now I understand they have choices, but back then, you got a Bachelor of Science degree in general engineering. During our plebe year, we were required to take a full lot of calculus, so that prepared me for graduate school where I got both my master’s and a Ph.D.<br />“I will tell you that in getting a Ph.D., there are different ways to get it. You can be brilliant like an Einstein and get it and have no problem. The other is organizing your approach throughout the Ph.D. In other words, you must put together a committee, you have to satisfy taking the right courses, and then you have to take a problem and work through it, and it has to be an original problem. It must be something you haven’t worked through before.”</div>

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">PV: What do you think cadets should focus on as they move forward into their new careers?</span><br />JS: “I’ll tell you a little story. Besides Branch Night, we were able to select the unit we were going to down to the battalion level. So, in the spring of the year that I graduated, there was a particular battalion I wanted.<br />“A year later, I arrived there and when I showed up, they said ‘who are you?’ So, when you go in there as a second lieutenant, going to West Point is one thing, but so many guys went to other great schools. You all start off at the same level. Whatever job the Army gives you, and I think I only got to choose one in my entire career, but whatever they give you, go in there and do the best possible job you can.<br />“And I would say almost 100 percent of the time, your senior officer is going to be a very honest and hard-working person so you can trust them and there is no reason to doubt them or follow what they ask you to do.”</div>

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">PV: What was your experience like at Branch Night?</span><br />JS: “I wanted to go armor. Back then, aviation was not an opportunity. The rule was you had to spend at least one year in combat arms before you could transfer to aviation. So, I chose armor and was not happy to get it, but our class was quite proud that no one was forced to go into infantry.<br />“In other words, our class chose infantry knowing we were not forced to go into that which I think was really good and spoke highly of our class.”</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">PV: Will you share more about your progression from West Point graduate to where you ended up?</span><br />JS: “I spent a year in the armor branch and then transitioned into aviation. I spent many years in the Army cavalry and then went to graduate school and got into the acquisition career. So, I was doing both acquisition and aviation. I was in the Pentagon when President Reagan came in and his idea, we are going to the best multicarrier in the world and we started getting a lot of money. The systems we still have today, the Apache, the Black Hawk, those were all bought in the mid-’80s, but the Army’s leadership was terrific in turning around something bad and making it the best Army. So, when Desert Storm came, it was incredible.”</div>

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">PV: Do you have any advice for students who are unhappy with what they got at Branch Night?</span><br />JS: “When I went through Branch Night, we had quotas. I suppose it’s the same way now although there is more combat aviation these days. Some people did not get what they wanted, and I say do not give up on the Army just because of one instance you perceive something as a failure.<br />“There are a lot of opportunities that are not even branch related that you can get into like other specialties and things that will come later in your career. That is the one message I would give new officers. I had an executive officer who worked over me that had been passed over for lieutenant colonel. He was about ready to give up, but he did such a good job that on the second round, he got selected and landed a very nice job.<br />“That is one hurdle that you got to get over but there are so many opportunities and not all are just branch related.”</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">PV: Any advice you can give cadets?</span><br />JS: “I would advise everybody who is physically able to, go to Ranger School. You carry that Ranger tab around your whole career and that really means something. And that goes for airborne school. There are a couple of other schools that are career path schools. The war college I actually did not attend, I did it by correspondence, which is probably one of the perquisites for making general officer.<br />“If you do not get selected, do it by correspondence. If you don’t get promoted, keep going. There’s a place for you.<br />“I would say as long as you can see a path, move forward in progression. Stick with it because the Army is really a great life and especially today’s Army.<br />“It is much different than when I came in at the tail end of the Vietnam War. Soldiers were not as admired, but today the American people really support the armed forces and that is a good change.”</div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">Ladies and Gentlemen, Coach Monken,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">Thank you for being here this morning to share in this moment. Thank you Coach Monken, Bob Mischak, Jr., my beloved Class of 1970 classmates, wives, friends and teammates.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">For a while, I have had the privilege to coordinate with Bob Beretta at West Point athletics, Lynn Moore, my team captain of the 1969 Army football team, Joe Reeder and Bob Mischak, Jr. in order to get the game football from the 1969 Army-Navy game into the West Point Sports Hall of Fame. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">Today this football will be placed in this special hall of remembrance to celebrate and memorialize the last time Navy was shutout by an Army football team, 50 years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">Jokingly, in various emails; Moore, Bob Jr., Reeder and I have called this the “sacred” football ceremony.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">In all seriousness, what is sacred is the fellowship that is connected to this symbolic football.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">What is sacred is the fellowship that began over 53 years ago with the men that entered West Point on July 1, 1966 to begin the great Class of 1970.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">What is sacred is the love that is shared by these men from our shared and vastly varied life experiences.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">What is sacred is the brotherhood forged with beginning a common cadet experience and a life of service to our country, our families and our communities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">Today we also get to honor Coach Bob Mischak who was presented this football by the 1969 Army football team and his offensive line. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">As a side story, after the game ended, some kid absconded with the ball and my teammate and Ranger buddy, Don DeCort, tackled the guy and retrieved the ball.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">Today we celebrate a wonderful moment in time- when a team of young men, coached by a great staff, and supported by the Corps of Cadets led by our great classmates-beat Navy 27-0. The last Navy shutout that took place 50 years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">Today we celebrate others that have gripped hands and are waiting on the other side. Men who banged heads and sweated in the trenches of Army football: Joe Ferraro, Joe Newman, Hank Andrzejczak, Billy Jackson, Jack McGill, Steve Muse, Tony Sobels, Johnny Brenner and others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">Today we celebrate those classmates that have bravely and courageously fought and sacrificed in our nation’s wars. Men like Pete Lilly (in attendance today). Men like our silent team captain, Lynn Moore, and many, many others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">Today we celebrate our good fortune to be alive to share this moment in time; to honor those we love, to share those experiences past, present and future that have forged a fellowship that can never be adequately described with words.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.466665267944336px;">So now ladies and gentlemen; it is a great honor to give you the bearer of the “football”. That young man we knew as the 11 year old Bobby when we were college seniors. The generous donor of this legacy football-Bob Mischak, Jr.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Once again, the Memorial Day holiday approaches, a time when we should all pause and reflect upon and honor those many thousands of brave men and women who have worn the cloth of our nation and made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our way of life and the freedoms we all enjoy.</div>

Memorial Day is a special holiday, a time to honor in thought and deed those who have lost their lives in combat during our nation's wars and conflicts. Our soldiers of today continue to serve in an Army at war, and thus they are all too often in harm's way, particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq, where we have lost nearly 7000 lives, and where more will undoubtedly give their last full measure of devotion in sacrifice for us. Their loved ones and families continue to pray and to worry about them and their safety. Please remember those who have fallen, including our class son, Lieutenant Scott Love, and consider helping a soldier and Army family member of today by making a donation to the Army Scholarship Foundation in Scott's or another loved one's memory on the occasion of this special holiday.</div>
