Here is a nice article for this weekend. This officer is truly a gentleman. Read what he has to say about those who came before him. I'm proud to be a citizen of a country that welcomes both the immigrant and their potential.

If you have FB, here is a link to the West Point page.

Some of the FB comments state that he is First Captain of the Cadet Corps, but I think that he is more probably 1st Regimental Commander based on this West Point news release:

Regardless, he is an inspiration.

The Service Academies only accept the best of the best, so to me this comes as no real surprise. :banger
