USMA Bicentennial Celebration

When The United States Military Academy was founded in 1802, no one could imagine the impact it would have on this nation for centuries to come. The bicentennial celebration already started when the class of 2002 entered the Corps of Cadets in 1998. In the year to come, The United States Military Academy will reach its 200th birthday. West Point will be immersed in parades, festivities, famous speakers, and old graduates. The centerpiece of West Point's bicentennial celebration …

…President Theodore Roosevelt said, "...we had a right to expect that West Point would do well, but we could not have expected that she would do so well as she has done". As the bicentennial approaches, it is certain that these words will be repeated and elaborated on because West Point once again made an impact during this century. Without a doubt, Cullum Memorial Hall should deservedly be the centerpiece to West Point's bicentennial celebration.
