The Simon Center for the Professional Military Ethic hosted the “Inspiration to Serve” Cemetery Tour for the Class of 2025 Cadets on May 4 at the West Point Cemetery. The purpose of the annual tour is three-fold: to remember and honor fallen USMA graduates, to inspire cadets and strengthen their identities as members of the Long Gray Line, and to catalyze cadets’ reflection on their willingness to freely affirm their commitment to serve in the profession of arms, which the second-class cadets accomplish each August. This year, the tour, started by SCPME in 2004, highlighted 30 graduates who died in service to the country and a USMA Class of 1975 graduate, retired Col. John McMullen, who was honored by his friend and classmate, retired Lt. Col. John Furman, as part of the 50-year affiliation to the Class of 2025.
