Vice President's Remarks at the United States Military Academy Commencement
Vice President Dick Cheney delivers the commencement address Saturday, May 26, 2007, during graduation ceremonies at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. The Vice President remarked, "There's a saying here -- that 'much of the history we teach was made by the people we taught.' By training the senior leadership of the Army, this institution has been absolutely critical to fighting and winning America's wars. If there had never been a Long Gray Line, I doubt that America would still be a free nation today." White House photo by David Bohrer
