  • DUTY STATIONS John F Kennedy and the West Point Class of 1962
    DUTY STATIONS JOHN F. KENNEDY AND THE WEST POINT CLASS OF 1962 Edited by J. R. Degenhardt USMA 1962 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page 3 Reminiscences 7 The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy 8 Asian Memories 20 European Memories 40 Homeland Memories 59 Last Letter Home 60 Editorial Postscript 61 Index 2 REMINISCENSES The Class of 1962 was unusually acquainted with President Kennedy for a number of reasons. Our first exposure came on a miserably cold day in January 1961 as we marched in Washington DC for his inauguration as the 35th President of the United States. "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we will pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty." We saw JFK again when he attended the Army-Navy game in December 1961 at the Municipal Stadium in Philadelphia. As could be expected of a Navy veteran, the President presided over a Navy win after spending the first half on our side. 3 Finally, we had the honor to welcome JFK to West Point for our graduation ceremony on the 6th day of June, 1962. He was made an honorary member of the class and presented with a 1962 Class Ring which, thanks to the determination of several classmates, today resides in a display case in the Jefferson Hall library. JFK delivered a speech that day which was remarkable not only for its eloquence but because he spoke to our hearts and our sense of duty, as we looked forward to taking our place in the Long Gray Line.

  • Eaton Red Tasked with Greatest Honor
    Year Posted: 2007 EATON RED TASKED WITH GREATEST HONOR & RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE U.S. PRESIDENT ENTRUSTS IN THE WAR ON TERROR During the Cold War, the President of the United States held his greatest trust in a moment of crisis with the Presidential Military Aide that carried at all times the Nuclear Football (that is, the briefcase that holds the nuclear launch codes and upon authorization would have started a nuclear launch against the Soviets). This individual had to be no less than perfect under pressure, truly the best that the military had to offer. Now in the midst of the War on Terror, the greatest threat still comes from the skies, whether it be another 9/11- style airplane hijacking or the launch of a nuclear missile from one of our enemies. The President’s greatest trust now lays in the hands of an extremely elite group of pilots that would be tasked with executing a Presidential shoot-down order, whether that be an enemy plane, missile, or even a hijacked commercial aircraft with American citizens on board. An individual given the responsibility of this assignment, would have to be: -The Top Graduate in Officer Candidate School -The Top Graduate in Euro-NATO Pilot Training -The Top Graduate in F16 School -A Winner of numerous Aerial Achievement Medals and Air Medals -The Leader of First Strike Missions on enemy targets when our Nation has gone to War -A truly World-Class Pilot -A highly Principled and Disciplined Man -An individual with a long history of Success in Everything that he has done since childhood and if a Presidential Shoot-Down Order were given in Colorado, the individual tasked with carrying out this mission on a moment’s notice with certainty and perfection would have to be: -An Eaton Red Indeed, the greatest responsibility for protecting our skies lays in the hands of 1988 Eaton Reds’ graduate Major Jimmy Reeman.
