As a current cadet in the Class of 2002, this is a great resource for the Corps to learn about its history. It seems that a lot of traditions and heritage are slowly eroding from the lives of the present Corps. Hopefully this trend will change and this is a good place to start. Go Circus!!!!!

I am a descendant of the Hodgson family of Philadelphia Pa. 2nd Lt. Benjamin Hubert Hodgson was a 1870 graduate of West Point. He was killed at Reno's Crossing at Little Big Horn Montana June 25, 1876. I discovered he was buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia. There is a nice momument there for him, but no other information. I arranged with the cemetery to set up a memorial in their visitor's center. This included photos from our collection, including his graduation photo from West Point, information about Custer and the Little Big Horn and a copy of a painting of Lt. Hodgson in the river, with Trumpeter Fisher trying to save him. Lt. Hodgson was dragged to shore, but shot and killed by an Indian. The painting is the creation of Ralph Heinz. Benjamin was buried in the family plot Oct. 1877.

I have only one regret. That I did not attend the USMA. How fortunate for the guys who did. Dwight Eisenhower, Bill Carpenter (The Lonesome End), Pete Dawkins, Rollie Stichweh. I attended my first Army football game on Saturday. Duty, honor, country. I shall return. For the Bicentennial page, I suggest you name the all-time Army football team. Blanchard, Davis, Dawkins, et al. I think it would make for an interesting addition. Good luck. It's a great page....Robert Wilson.

My husband and I have been looking for examples of 'cats in the military' when Tom stumbled upon your page. We own 19 gerbils and your story of the gerbil paratrooper was very funny (but sad). I am amazed that with so little brain, the gerb still managed to learn that heights were no big problem--no small feat when you consider it is natural for animals to fear heights.

I am a proud parent of a new cadet who worked and sacrificed the last four years so he can work and sacrifice the next. I would have never chosen this path for him but it wasn't my choice. I am so proud he has been determined to give service to his country. I hope this determination will sustain him in the next difficult months. It helps to see the comments and history of all the brave young men who have gone before him.

I'm interesred in West Point's first Native American graduate, Class of 1822, 6th U.S. Inf., Lt. David Moniac. War of 1812, Mobile, Alabama (executed six Tenn. militia men for Gen. Jackson) Col. Gilbert Christian Russell, Sr., 3rd U.S. Inf. (today's 1st), Indian fighter, was David's kinsman and mentor, and my ancestor. His father, Capt. Andrew Russell, Jr., Abingdon, Va., fought at the Battle of King's Mountain, N.C. Maj. David Moniac, Alabama Mounted Creek Volunteers, Second Seminole War, was killed Battle of Wahoo Swamp, Fla., while leading his troop across the river, over 50 bullet's in David's remains. David's memorial stone at Bushnell National Cemetery, Fla., on it's obverse, quotes Gen. Jesup, that David was, "As brave as any man who has drawn a sword and faced an enemy". David's brother was Pvt. Samuel Moniac, Jr., Ala. Mt. Crk. Vols., buried Pass Christian, Miss., in an unmarked grave, as is his father there, Creek Chief Samuel Moniac, Sr., Creek Nation allie in the War of 1812. Died there in the "Indian Removal", the United State's 'thanks' for his services rendered as a soldier--banishment. As also did happen to my kinsman, Capt. Pierre Gabriel de Juzan who led 52 Choctaws in the swamp, 1815 Battle of New Orleans, then banished, removed from Mississippi. 1838-1841, Pierre Gabriel de Juzan was Chief of the Pushmataha District, OK. He wed U.S. general of Indian Troops, Gen. Pushmataha's niece. Jim, Charlotte, N.C.

I am a rising sophomore in high school, and for the past two years I have been interested in the military, and in particular, the army. I have read a great deal about it and have ultimately come to the decision, that if the opportunity presents itself, I will attend the United States Military Academy. No web site I have looked at has reinforced that desire as strongly as this one. The tales of friend- ship, the personal honor and integrity exhibited in the stories by the former West Pointers, and the feeling of service and camraderie that these men have written about so passionately makes me wish and hope very strongly that one day, I too will join "The Long Gray Line."

Dear who ever this may concern, I am interested in attending your school, but I understand that it is 98% male. I have heard that your school is hard, not only because of the studies but because of the men who would not like women to attend your fine school. Personally, I do not care. I am intersted in attending, and I will persue my goal when I am a Junior. Right now I am a freshamn attending Judge Memorial Catholic High School in Salt Lake City. The Dean of my school went to West Point and left after the first year because of the pressure. She is an extreemly tough woman, and I admire her for that. Your school has everything I have dreamed of and want. Your mission statement is on my wall, and I am working hard to be able to be accpeted to your school. When I do get accepted to your school I will not tolerate what the guys there are going to give me, I will work just as hard and I can work just as hard as they can. We are all created equal, and I hope you will not judge me for having high goals for myself. Ever since the sixth grade I've wanted to go to your school, and I will. w/b ~Cresayde COoke

I loved reading this site. I have a couple of humorous memories from my plebe year. During that time, sometimes the dessert was either lemon chiffon or strawberry chiffon pie. Imagine chocolate mousse in a pie crust and sliding around on an aluminum pie pan, only lemon or strawberry flavored, and that was lemon chiffon or strawberry chiffon pie. Well, one Thursday evening at the beginning of the school year, it was steak night, with baked potatoes on the side and lemon chiffon pie for dessert. One of my classmates on a nearby table had finished serving the table with his colleagues, and moments later, the firstie at the head of the table asked him to pass him another baked potato. The young man began to pick up the pan of potatoes to pass it up, but the firstie told him to just toss it to him instead. Well, the young man, in his desire to meet this request quickly, picked up a potato and heaved it high, like a grenade. The potato flew across the table, over the fingers of the firstie's outstretched hand, and landed right in the middle of the lemon chiffon pie on the next table! What made it even more hilarious was that the plebe on the next table had just picked up the pie to announce it ("SIR, the dessert for this meal is....>WHAP!<") Well, let's just say that everyone on THAT table, except for the firsties, got some lemon chiffon pie, courtesy of a potato grenade... Later on that year, I had duty on the Brigade Tables. One of my other classmates, in his zeal to get his job done quickly and with the utmost military efficiency, whipped the pan of Strawberry Chiffon pie off the table and heaved it up to shoulder level so that he could announce it. What happened though, was that the momentum he applied to the pie caused the pie to keep going even though he stopped the pan, and >SCHWIP!<, the pie slips out of the pan and plops on the floor. The Strawberry Chiffon side is resting on the floor, and the crust is now all cracked and spreading out like an erupting volcano.Well, the young man has to say something, and so he pauses for a moment and then says, "SIR, the dessert for this meal is.....GONE!" The firstie responds, "Well, where is it, 'smack?", The plebe, clearly chagrined, says after another pregnant pause, "Sir, it's on the floor!" He took a good verbal pounding for that one, but when we got back to the company area, we were laughing so hard we cried.... Ah, nothing like that "family-style" Corps dinner meal..... Michael A.

My mother, Hazel Jane Manly recently died. But before she did, she told me that 3 or 4 of her relatives attend West Point Academy. There surname was Talbot and they would have attended about 1890s. Also, there is a ship named the U.S.S. Ralph Talbot. Where can I verify this information? Our family is anxious to learn for our geneaology. (Mrs. Manly's father, Charles Hardin Talbot was not an Academy graduate. He left the family when Mother was 4 years old in LaJolla California.) It would be his brothers that I am seeking to learn about. Thank You.

I was visiting your site to inquire for my eight year son. I will like to enroll in such a facility. My main concern is his lack interest in certain things in life and lack independence. I think a facility as military school will be beneficial to him. Then is my other concerns as a single mother. For starters where will I get such funds, to be able to provide him with this priviledged opportunity. Then how will I be able to break the tide to let him go if possibility comes up. Will someone be able to help or suggest ideas for a single mother.

Dear Sirs, I served with a West Point Graduate in Vietnam during the years of 65 and 66, with the 1st Air Cav Division.Throughout my several months of training, I was under OCS cadets, ROTC Officers, but by far, West Point places the best Officers out in the World. I served under Paul G. Cerjan, class of 1960. Excellent Man, and a fine Officer. He retired from the Army 4 years ago as a Lt. General and Commandant of the War College in Washingto D.C. We still keep in contact today. Best regards to all !

Our grandson, Christopher Cooper went two years to West Point, then left for a two year mission for the LDS church in Taipei, Taiwan. He will re-enter the Point this Summer and finish his last two years, graduating in 2002. His experience at the Point for the two years he was there is invaluable. The discipline, physical fitness, respect and follow through has helped him tremendously during his mission. It's to bad that all young men can't serve at West Point and learn the meaning of loyalty to self, his fellow man and his country. We were teen-agers during WWII and well remember the patriotism and fierce pride of our young men serving in all branches of the armed forces. Perhaps that's what stirs in our hearts when we see our young grandson in his uniform as a West Point Cadet. There are still many things to be proud of about our country and West Point is one of them!!

I am the proud parent of Jennifer Charron in the regimental command, who will gradaute in May 2000. I am also a blessed relative of Henry Burbeck, one of the five generals appointed by President Washington to establish West Point Military Academy. He was one of the two American generals (the other three were British generals). As far as we know, Jennifer is the first female of Henry Burbeck's lineage to graduate from West Point, and may also be the first of his lineage, since we cannot locate other Burbeck relatives who were graduates of West Point.

Your comments on Jap Wilson were perfect. I am a civilian, and met Jap when he was in retirement and got to know him well before he passed. He was as straigt forward in retirement as you described. His carreer and life was an inspirational manifestation of the West Point Code of Honor.

While getting a grad degree at Notre Dame, I noticed that their "Rockne Gymnasium" had the one and only West Point Academy Crest chiseled onto the side of the building. I wonder if any other college in the nation would have a rival school's logo permanently drilled into the side of one of their structures? A very nice gesture.... The Naval Academy Crest was there too.

I am interested in you findings and would love to read any other accounts that you have had pertaining to the subject of West Point ghost. I am apart of the class of 2003. If your son were still here I would like to talk to him. I had begun a paper on this subject but was forced to change my topic because it was not argumentative. If you have any ideas of how I could resume my paper (even if it is not for a grade but a person interest) please contact me at my email address. I am in company H-4 and live close to the 47th division. If you have any other resources that could be of some help in writing a paper, I would greatly appreciate it. Even if you know of other articles that pertain the same 47th division I would be highly interested in reading them. Respectfully, CDT PVT Enslow

Thank you for some interesting information. I especially enjoyed the patriotic music! My son is a "firstie" and will graduate this year (2000). In addition to enjoying an outstanding academic curriculum, he has had the great privilege to be on the football team. We committed to go to all of the home and away games. We are at West Point quite often. Every time we step foot on that campus, our hearts burst with pride and we are overwhelmed by the historical footsteps our son is following. We never tire of being there. To have him be a part of "The Long Grey Line" is one of great honor for our entire family. God bless the Army and God bless the United States of America!!

Have just finished watching The Long Gray Line and have been looking on the Net for more information on the fascinating character, Marty Maher. Not having much luck using his name, I did find your site and am impressed with the options available, especially this opportunity to "sign in" and ask you where I might find more information on Marty Maher. Is he still a "legend" at West Point, or has he been pretty much forgotten, now that so much time has gone by. Are there books available about him? How "true to life" was the movie?

When I reported to my squad leader's room for special inspection before the supper formation that night, my Squad leader told my tablemates and me to return to our rooms, put on trousers we had worn once before, uniform for supper was Dress Grey over White that night, and on his signal during the supper meal to remove our dress coats, turn them inside out and place them securely on the backs of our chairs. Little did we know what was about to happen. It was great!

I just happened to fall into your site by accident! I landed on the page that mentions the pranks played at the academy over the years and almost died laughing!!! In my Junior and Senior years of Highschool, I attended Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Virginia. On the eve of my graduation, all cadets remaining on campus (the Senior Class and ten ushers from the Junior Class) were restricted to the barracs to keep us out of trouble... it didn't work. The Seniors were on the fourth floor and the ten ushers were on the fifth. My roomamt for the evening was looking out the window, hanging way ofer the sill, when he found himself instantly soaked with water from above! One of the ushers had pourd a cup of water on his head! Of course, this meant war and Jim filled a cup and went upstairs to exact his revenge. Within a minute, Jim was back in the room laughing and filling his cup again. Suddenly, there was a lot of yelling in the halway as an assault was launched on us by all the ushers! I barracaded our door with the bunks as we hid in the room. We could hear all sorts of commotion and laughing and running around outside the door, yet we weren't budging for anything! We could hear water running in the pipes and knew that things were escalating very quickly! Several of the Seniors were in the showers now filling their waste-baskets with watter and forming a "bucket brigade" up the iron steps of the fire escape! There were literaly hundreds-of-gallons of water flowing by this point and I started to worry about the situation: being about to graduate as a Cadet Officer and a member of the Battalion Staff, I worried about the reprocussions of our actions in regards to getting our diplomas... I decided to step out and give the order to stop. What happened next was awesome! From both ends of the hallway, the ushers released the pent-up torrent of close to 100 gallons of water that they held in the large garbage cans that they had filled in the showers upstairs! It was an unbelievable sight! All that water rolled down from either end of the hall and met in the middle with a tremendous crash! Just as the ripples were subsiding, the Dean, Col. Sanders and the Commandant of Cadets, Col. Beck, made their appearance... I was terrified and I screamed everyone to attention! Ooooooooo.... if looks could kill! We were threatened with not getting out diplomas, indeed, no graduation cerimony whatsoever! The policing of the water commenced immediately. We did marticulate the next morning, but I couldn't help but give a glance, as I walked across the stage, just to be sure that my diploma was legit and not a blank piece of paper... I was to find out the next year that there had been about thirty thousand dollars worth of damage done to the celing of the dining hall below: it had colapsed two days after we all went home!

I was a cadet in the class of 1967, and had to leave because of a medical condition that precluded my receiving a military commission. Recently I have renewed contact with many of my classmates, and the experience has been truly heartwarming. Although we have been apart for more than 35 years, the bonds that were formed at West Point-- and in my case for nine additional months at West Point Prep School--have remained strong and unyielding. I have discovered that I have more in common with my Academy classmates than with anyone at the university where I ultimately spent four years and graduated. I can only imagine and envy the relationships that were formed between cadets who spent the entire four years together at West Point. I will be forever grateful for my West Point experiences which contributed immensely to my character development. One cannot pass through the Academy for even a day without being changed for the rest of his/her life. It is truly one of our country's greatest institutions for leadership and character development.

I am proud to be a part of the military tradition of the USA that allows freedom of expression. Since I was supposed to be in USMA '51, but only had an alternate appointment and ultimately graduated from the other school (USNA '53), I feel a closeness to all of you. Wishing all graduates of the USMA and the present Corps the very best in all future football games (except one annual event in Philly). Keep up the spirit and TRADITION that has made you a part of one of the finest groups of men (and women) in the nation. Have a great 100 year celebration. DBG

As the mother and mother-in-law of two recent WP grads, it is exciting to anticipate the bi-centennial of such a great institution. Their years spent at WP are not "fun" like they would have been at another college or university but the cadets had their own style of fun and they made friendships that will last a lifetime. In hindsight, they appreciate their years there and might even miss them a bit. As a parent who lived close to WP, we were able to share some of those moments and get to know the men and women of WP. It is a 1st rate college and it truly develops leaders for the 21st century. Happy 200th Birthday to USMA! Congratulations to all former, current and future cadets and their families who make up The Long Gray Line.

I really enjoyed the webpage. You did a great job putting it together. I would like to see what the classes are doing for the Bicentenial especially Bulldogs from '90 - '92. Also, if you would like the poop about the Soc run to include it in the traditions section I was the OIC of the Soc run from '91 - '93. I was also the manager of the West Point Club and gained some notoriety with beast Cadre, Bulldogs and an assortment of other very colorful characters. Would love to hear from you Thank You John F.

Many thanks to Hugh and everyone involved in the WP web site. Great job! Thanks for the memories... Speaking of memories, one of my best was in '66 (or '67?) when all the silver sugar bowls disappeared from the mess hall in protest to the Super not allowing Army to play in the Sugar Bowl. Four hundred sugar bowls, Zap!, gone in the dark of night. Amazing. Beautiful. ;>

It is the best use of internet technology to a specific site, I have yet seen in support of our West Point community. And we'll all watch closely as the BiCentennial year approaches. Well done! Jack
