This year marks the 25th anniversary of the WPAOG Class Ring Memorial Program, a tradition deeply rooted in the enduring bonds of the Long Gray Line. This year, the gold from donated rings will be used to create the Class of 2026’s rings, continuing a legacy made possible by the Class of 1966’s generous endowment in memory of their fallen brothers. Watch live.

Congratulations to the graduates who were presented their second lieutenant bars by COL (R) John R. Martin, LTC (R) Gary J. Anderson, and LTC (R) Louis Vozzo, USAR who represented the 50-Year Affiliation Class of 1974. Read more.
