Ross Perot Selected For West Point's Prestigious Thayer Award
By ROBERT MILLER / The Dallas Morning News
Dallas businessman Ross Perot will receive the U.S. Military Academy's prestigious Thayer Award in a ceremony Oct. 15 in West Point, N.Y.
The award is given annually to a non-West Point graduate whose service and accomplishments in the national interest exemplify the academy's motto, "Duty, Honor, Country."
"Duty," "Honor," "Country"—those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you want to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn. Unhappily, I possess neither that eloquence of diction, that poetry of imagination, nor that brilliance of metaphor to tell you all that they mean.
General Douglas MacArthur
