Good Morning, WP-ORG! Fund Drive 54 is off to a great start, currently at 48.5% of our $48,752.00 goal. Donation Report: https://secure.west-point.org/donate/report/

Budget: https://www.west-point.org/budget/

Please consider a donation: https://www.west-point.org/donate

Over the past 25 years WP-ORG has continually evolved to meet the changing needs of the West Point community. In the last couple of years, much of that evolution has been under the hood. Taking advantage of newer technologies we have revamped our network internally to become more flexible, secure, stable and redundant. All of which positions WP-ORG to continue to support the West Point community for years to come.

What started out as a side hobby back in the mid 90’s has brought tens of thousands of West Point graduates and parents together in a shared purpose of celebrating the West Point story. That WP-ORG is still serving after so many years is a legacy to the vision of those who saw the potential in bringing the West Point community together online, to the enthusiasm of all who donated in the early years and in all the years since, and to the dedication of all those who volunteer every day to serve their classmates and fellow parents through WP-ORG.

Most importantly, WP-ORG is brought to life by those who find it to be useful for some purpose: a west-point.org email address, a platform through which to plan parent club events, a source of continuing connection with classmates, a payment site for collecting society dues, a place to remember and eulogize classmates, a platform for hosting a society or parent club website, or an email list to debate any issue within the graduate community.

WP-ORG is a West Point community project. It lives to serve. It has a thousand beating hearts.

With your help, WP-ORG will remain a valuable resource for the graduates of tomorrow.

Sincerely,
Megan Klein

Dear West Point Community, 

Today WP-ORG launches Fund Drive 54:  https://www.west-point.org/donate/

As we begin our semi-annual fundraising campaign, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support. Your generosity has been the backbone of our mission for nearly three decades.  

Since our inception, our purpose has been clear: to create a robust online communications infrastructure that strengthens the bonds among graduates, parents, and friends of the United States Military Academy.  From managing email lists and overseeing dedicated volunteers, to orchestrating reunions and crafting websites, every endeavor echoes our collective love for our Alma Mater and its alumni.  

Over the past 27 years, we’ve stood by over 40,000 living graduates and their networks.  It’s a journey that began for me personally with my graduation in 1996, and it’s a privilege to be part of this tapestry of tradition and unity.  

Every six months, we turn to you.  Your contributions are the lifeblood that ensures every cadet, alumni, and West Point enthusiast continues to find the stories, resources, and connections that resonate.  Together, let’s ensure that the spirit of the Long Gray Line endures in the digital realm.  Remember, every gift, big or small, weaves into this legacy.  

With profound gratitude,  

Cameron Price

For Freedom We Risk

The Cadet’s Crucible (By Cameron Price & Chat GPT)

On hallowed ground, where heroes rise,
A beacon shining in the skies,
West Point, the cradle of the brave,
Where hearts unite and spirits pave.

Upon the Hudson’s mighty shore,
A bond that’s forged forevermore,
In battles fought, in wisdom learned,
The corps of cadets’ trust is earned.

Together, shoulder-to-shoulder they stand,
Defending freedom’s cherished land,
Their courage, honor, and their grace,
A testament to this sacred place.

From storied past to futures bright,
These leaders rise, both day and night,
With every challenge they embrace,
A bond that time cannot erase.

For West Point’s sons and daughters true,
The Long Gray Line, a bond that grew,
In reverence for the ones who’ve gone,
The corps, the corps, the corps lives on.

This poem was created in conjunction with Chat GPT. Chat GPT can do all sorts of cool stuff, and it has an incredibly easy to use interface. You should check it out if you haven’t already 🙂
