I’m proud to have the opportunity to support the cadets who will lead our Army in the coming years. And I’m pleased that the president is clearly setting the stage for a post ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ military with appointments like this. Most important, I’m looking forward to supporting West Point as it continues to inspire, educate and train leaders of character, as it always has. It is my honor to continue to serve the Academy and the Army that I love.
