The USMA Class of 2015 Class Crest was unveiled for the first time during the Sponsor Appreciation dinner on April 13, 2012. The class motto, selected by the Class of 2015, is “For Those We Lead”, and the crest features all the usual elements required in every USMA class crest:

• initials USMA
• an eagle
• an officer’s sabre
• a cadet sabre
• the arrows and leaves from the national emblem
• Class year  and motto

Up until the 1950’s, Class Crests were generally monochromatic but today are colorized.

Tradition and custom also dictate the wearing of the class ring. Prior to graduation, the Class Ring is worn with the Class Crest closest to the heart signifying the closeness of the class. After graduation, the ring is worn with the Academy Crest closest to the heart signifying closeness with the Academy.
