"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 |
And what a time it was,
It was
A time of innocence;
A time of confidences.
It must be;
I have a photograph.
Preserve your memories,
They're all that's left you.
