To all members of WP-ORG,
On behalf of all the WP-ORG advisors, moderators, and tireless volunteers, I am happy to announce that FD24 has been successfully completed and WP-ORG's operations are fully funded for the next six months. Any donations that continue to be received by mail will be credited toward FD25.
I'd like to thank everyone who made the effort to contribute. In addition, we are grateful to those who continue to donate countless hours of their valuable time. These long hours are a donation equally as important and valuable as money. Without either, WP-ORG would not exist.
This fund drive is complete. As they once said in the classrooms of West Point, "Cease Work!" Save any additional donations for FD25.
The final Donation Report may be seen at:
In addition to donation reports, we archive for each fund drive daily tallies, charts and tables comparing performance measures of current and past drives, and additional data which you may find of interest:
FD24 has been a great success. Once again, thank you!

Published: July 29, 2008 WASHINGTON — Caleb Campbell, a member of West Point’s class of 2008 and a seventh-round draft pick of the Detroit Lions,
woke up one day last week expecting to sign a $295,000 contract that
afternoon. He was anticipating the team’s season opener in September
against the Atlanta Falcons. Campbell still expects to be on the sideline this September, but it will not be as an N.F.L.
player. Instead, he has been ordered to return to West Point as a
second lieutenant assigned to assistant coaching duties for Army. |

Volunteers participate in drills — and have instructors bark at them
By Michael Hill
Associated Press The senior spent hours with the civilian volunteers polishing his
form for reception day, or "R-Day," for the Class of 2012. At mock
R-Day on June 27, he practiced the finer points of leaning close to
mock plebes and pouncing on people who smirked. "THIS IS FUNNY?" Davies screamed at one volunteer. "YOU ARE WASTING MY TIME!"

Effective immediately, by order of the Superintendent, the words to the West Point Alma Mater, and "The Corps" have been changed to make them gender inclusive.2 June, 2008 Fellow members of the Long Gray Line,
I’m
writing to let you know that I have in fact decided to update the
lyrics to our Alma Mater and The Corps. The realization that these
songs explicitly exclude our women graduates–two of whom have given
their lives in battle–was the driving force behind the changes, and
it's simply the right thing to do. I have received unanimous support
for this decision from the Board of Visitors and the Executive Steering
Group, whose members are the Secretary of the Army, the Army Chief of
Staff, and the Army Vice Chief of Staff.

Pacific edition, Tuesday, March, 25, 2008 “I had a normal artillery career, until now,” said Haynes, a graduate of the
United States Military Academy in 1994. Now, Haynes’ major job is to be
around when people need him. Japanese officers
stop by his office to ask for help with translation, to update him on
meeting other foreign dignitaries, and often to invite him to
after-work parties. “His door is always open,” said Chiba, the Japanese
general. “We can work with him in our perspective. It is great.” |
