“I’m honored to express my deepest admiration for the cadets of West Point that visited us here today on the floor of the NYS Assembly. The outstanding service, dedication and patriotism these young patriots display, are true reflections of the American spirit. Their unwavering commitment to defending our nation and upholding our founding principles is a testament to the finest traditions of our great country.

“West Point continues to produce outstanding leaders in all branches of our military, many of whom are decorated veterans of recent and past wars.

“Therefore, I salute the spirit, courage and dedication of all West Point cadets. We wish them the best of luck wherever life takes them, and we hope that their examples continue to inspire the next generation of Americans to serve their country with honor and dignity.”
