Jabari Moore’s heroic pass break up in the end zone helped push the Army West Point football team past Air Force to a 21-14 result in the Lockheed Commanders' Classic presented by USAA on November 6. The win assures that the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy will remain at West Point for another year, as the Black Knights (5-3) and the Falcons (6-3, 3-2 Mountain West) are now tied in the CIC standings with one victory apiece. Army will have a chance to outright win the trophy during its game against Navy on December 11. Full story. Photos.

With good reason, the last two months of the year are called the giving season. Nearly one-third of annual gifts are made just in December. One reason is that the holiday season evokes a spirit of altruism. Another is that we generally have more clarity about our tax situation and financial prospects by the end of the year. As you engage in your year-end gift planning, here are six things to keep in mind.

We are now accepting rings for the West Point Class of 2024. Each year, through the Class Ring Memorial Program, gold from donated rings worn by past West Point graduates is melted and incorporated into new class rings for rising firsties, enabling them to “grip hands” with the Long Gray Line. The deadline to donate rings for their Ring Melt Ceremony is October 1, 2022. If you are interested in donating a West Point class ring, please email us or 845.446.1614. Visit website.

COL Drew Morgan '98 took time to represent every USMA company patch while orbiting the earth in outer space. Here are the photos and a special letter to the Corps. “During my 9-month mission to the International Space Station, I represented many entities while orbiting the Earth—our beloved West Point and the Corps of Cadets was top of the list,” Morgan said. “I am proud of your decision to serve your country and it was my honor to represent you in space. These cadet company patches flew with me on Expeditions 60, 61 and 62 to the space station as a reminder that West Point leaders of character lead on land, air, sea, cyberspace and outer space!” See all the company patches in space.
