The Corps

The Corps is honored as a living brotherhood linking present and past generations in a “Long Gray Line” stretching through a century, with today’s sons saluting those who came before and pledging, as they did, to honor the Corps in life or death. The cadet prayer asks God for sincerity, truth, gladness in religion, honest dealing, clean thinking, courage, loyalty, friendship, sympathy, and the strength to choose the harder right over the easier wrong, while maintaining the honor of the Corps and the ideals of West Point in duty to God and country. The alma mater calls for duty well performed, honor kept untarnished, loyalty in service on land or sea, and a life of living, serving, and dying for West Point.
