As the Class of 2018 finished Cadet Field Training on July 26, members of their 50-Year Affiliation Class of 1968 were on hand to “Grip Hands” and mark the occasion by presenting the newly-promoted cadet corporals with a class flag, which will now be displayed at all Class events at West Point. An integral part of the 50-Year Affiliation Program, the presentation of the class flag strengthens the bonds between the classes and reinforces the ideals of West Point and the values of the Army. The next day, the yearling Class of 2018 completed its 7.15 mile Run Back to West Point from Camp Buckner.
