Chevelle Thomas USMA Public Affairs Officer

The United States Tennis Association hosted the seventh annual U.S. Open Military Appreciation Day Monday at the 2018 U.S. Open in Flushing, New York. Department of Defense service members and veterans were honored and recognized for their sacrifice, bravery and courage in the line of duty, throughout the day's festivities. However, it was a mutual exchange of service and recognition as the U.S. Military Academy’s Tennis team hosted a youth camp for several children throughout the community Aug. 25. Army West Point Men’s Tennis team Head Coach James Poling and the USMA Men’s Tennis team put on several drills for the children to emphasize the importance of the moral and physical lessons learned through sports. “Learning to perform under stressful conditions, tolerating pain and discomfort to work toward common goals, learning to work together as a team, learning to be objective in identifying weakness in your game and improving them,” Poling said of what he hoped children learned from the camp. This occasion was only the beginning, as a full military tribute took place on Labor Day during the official opening ceremonies at Members of the U.S. Military Academy contigent—Superintendent Darryl A.

It is widely believed that win was due in part to Johnnie Ashe’s noble sacrifice during the Vietnam War, where he volunteered for a second tour of duty in place of his brother. “I (did not) want my brother Arthur Ashe Master Sgt.

With the buildings that were once their stables and the field where their horses once galloped during training as a backdrop, the legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers at the U.S. Military Academy was honored Sunday. The last Buffalo Soldier to have served at West Point died two years ago, but with his widow and granddaughter in attendance the lasting impact of Staff Sgt. Sanders Matthews Sr. and his fellow Buffalo Soldiers was honored with a ceremonial wreath laying near Buffalo Soldier Field. Sunday’s ceremony was the 57th annual Buffalo Soldier Memorial Ceremony held at West Point in honor of the 9th and 10th Cavalries, which served at West Point from 1907-48 and trained cadets in horsemanship. “These men we are here in recognition of today taught horsemanship to men like George Patton, Dwight Eisenhower and Omar Bradley,” Archie Elam, a member of the board of directors of the West Point Association of Graduates, said. “Their spirit and their character lives and breathes here.” The all-black Buffalo Soldiers earned their name and standing as the best horsemen West Point Superintendent Lt.

Aundrea Matthews, Sanders Matthews Sr.’s granddaughter, said they hope to have the monument in place within the next two years. The effort to construct the monument is being led by retired Maj. Gen.
