Assemblyman Dave McDonough (R,C,I-Merrick) commemorated West Point Day in Albany Thursday and congratulated cadets and officers who were honored in the Assembly Chamber. The U.S. Military Academy has been an integral part of New York and the Hudson River’s security since the American Revolution.

“I was extremely honored to recognize the cadets in attendance and Lt. General Caslen during West Point Day yesterday in Albany,” McDonough said. “West Point is one of the finest military institutions in the world, and these brave men and women deserve our utmost gratitude for protecting our liberty and freedoms. West Point has produced U.S. Presidents, professional athletes and some of the best soldiers in our country’s history. This is one of my favorite days in Albany and I wish all the members of West Point continued success and safety.”
