The Sacrifice is Real

The dangers faced and sacrifices made by the graduates of our military academies are all too real. I experienced a painful parent’s sadness and emptiness in my heart when I heard about the service-related death of a recent USMA academy graduate.

It is with great sadness that I include the link to a eulogy page for 1LT Laura Margaret Walker, USMA class of 2003. She died in Kandahar, Afghanistan, when an improvised explosive device detonated underneath her vehicle.

Please remember all our service men and women, and their families, in your prayers.
