Subject:Ring Melt - THANK YOU!
Dear Graduates,
On behalf of the families that were unable to attend the Ring Melt Ceremony for the Class of 2020, I would like to thank you for placing a ring into the crucible in their stead. I hope that you were able to feel the powerful connection of the Long Gray Line during the ceremony. The West Point Association of Graduates is humbled to have hosted this special ceremony at West Point for the very first time and looks forward to hosting it at its “Rockbound Highland Home” from now on.
Below are a few links of photos and videos from the day’s ceremony and ring melting:
