<p>Last year President Bush spoke to the entire Corps. I heard from several cadets that he was very enthusiastically received. After the speech, he spent quite a bit of time with the Firsties. No notes, cameras or press - just plain talk with those who would soon be in the trenches. The feedback I received was that even the Cadets who were not fans, gained an appreciation due to his candor and willingness to spend time with them. </p>
<p>I’m certain that any cadets/mids are thrilled to have a President of the United States speak to them. I’m also certain that with the schedules these students have, there will always be a few sleeping, no matter who the speaker might be.</p>
