The class of '58 started a mentorship program for Warriors that begins here at Walter Reed and then passes on to follow-on mentors once Warriors medically separate or retire from the service. The follow-on mentors are located throughout the country and pick-up helping these Veterans transition into their local communities and the VA system. This program has branched out to other West Point classes and the POC is Lee Miller at:

For anyone wishing to support our wounded Warriors. The Walter Reed Army Medical Center website outlines procedures for making donations to our Warriors and their Families:

Also for those in the DC local area, the website identifies volunteer opportunities.
I am honored to have the opportunity to be a part of the Army's effort to improve care for our wounded Warriors. Our classmates who are continuing to serve and lead in Iraq and Afghanistan deserve our best support as they fight everyday to protect our Soldiers as they accomplish a demanding mission.
Thanks for your support of our Warriors! -- Terry

One group passed along 1 cent for every dollar raised, the report says. Another paid its founder and his wife a combined $540,000 in compensation and benefits last year, a Washington Post analysis of tax filings showed.

We continue to update the list of '85 Class Firsts.
Doug Frank provided some preliminary poop about the first Army-Navy Football Relay in 1984. Doug and Tim Grammel organized a platoon of runners to run a game ball from West Point to Philadelphia. As an exchange cadet at Navy, Tim learned that Navy had been running a ball to the game for several years.
If you were involved in the first Football Relay, please send your names and your recollections of the event to

As many of you have already heard, our classmate Jamie (McCloud) Perez passed away this week as the result of a combination of vasculitis and a lung infection.
Her husband, Felix, has set up a website dedicated to Jamie's memory: www.jamiemccloudperez.com/. Felix has posted obituaries, information about services and suggested donations at that site.
You may also leave eulogies here:
