"June
5, 1951, the once dreamed of day which was to reward us for the
four hard years of effort was here. We stood our last reveille
in anything we could find. With mixed feelings of relief, regret,
anticipation, and with pride we marched to the Field House. This
was the real thing: no more watching and waiting. The speeches
and music made us feel the finality of this occasion. The diplomas
and commissions were ours at last. We listened to the Long Corps,
heard the word 'dismissed' and threw our caps in the air. One
career had ended with its joys, sorrows and hard work-- a new
career lay ahead of us. We had taken our places in the 'Long
Grey Line' and the gold bars were ours. 'Our short time' was
through." - The Howitzer, 1951 |
Time it was
And what a time it was,
It was
A time of innocence;
A time of confidences.
Long ago
It must be;
I have a photograph.
Preserve your memories,
They're all that's left you.
Bookends -Paul Simon
