"Red Dog" Alan Armstrong Writes Novel About
Last Days in Cambodia
This novel is based on fact. It is told by an actively
involved participant who has never been able to get the tragedy inflicted on
the Cambodian people far from his mind. It is fast-moving
and hard-hitting. It is a very good read that challenges the reader to confront the
past and contemplate the future.
West Point’s first 6th generation graduate,
French speaking Alan Armstrong, was one of three members of America’s armed
forces to serve the longest in the Khmer Republic. When he wasn’t on
battlefields with doomed soldiers, or meeting with his friend, Brigadier General
Lon Non, brother of Cambodia’s president, Marshal Lon Nol, he was either at the
Khmer high command’s Centre opérationnel or at the American Embassy,
watching the country disintegrate.
Alan and two others were the last staff members to exit
the American Embassy on the day that the United State pulled out of Cambodia.
He flew out on the last evacuee helicopter shoulder to shoulder with the
American Ambassador, John Gunther Dean.

Time
To Start The Planning For The 60th Reunion With A Survey
The purpose of this initial
survey is to begin the process for collecting your preferences for the 60th
Reunion. We need to know now whether you plan to attend.
Based on the surveys and
feedback for the 55th we are sure about many of your preferences. Returning to
West Point versus some other city was the clear preference and Graduation Week
was the preferred time to come to West Point for the reunion. So we will plan
on those.

Jim Nicholson Receives the Hiring Our Heroes Presidential Award
 8th Annual Lee Anderson Hiring Our Heroes Awards Gala, presented by USAA,
on November 14, 2018 presented the Hiring Our Heroes Presidential Award to the Honorable R.
Jim Nicholson for a lifetime of commitment and service to veterans and
military families. A graduate of the United States Military Academy,
Nicholson's reputation of caring for those in need spans decades public
and private service dedicated to our country as well as our service
members and their families.
The Lifetime Achievement Award is in recognition of Nicholson's
sustained support of our nation's veterans and military families. As
U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, and significantly, as secretary of
Veterans Affairs, both in the George W. Bush administration, Nicholson
has always been keenly aware of the hardships and sacrifices made by
America's service members and their families and is committed to helping
them.
The Hiring Our Heroes program, which he co-founded, facilitates the
hiring of veterans and military spouses by private industry. The program
has helped more than 30,000 veterans and military spouses find jobs.
"The best thing the private sector can do for veterans is to hire them,"
said Nicholson. "There is nothing more fulfilling than being able to
take care of yourself and your family. And, it's a great opportunity for
employers: young veterans are all volunteers who are self-disciplined,
mission-focused, have an excellent esprit de corps, and offer many
valuable tangible and intangible skills."
"I'm proud to be a part of this effort," he noted.

Army Breaks Ground for Anderson Athletic Center
Army West Point Director of Athletics
Boo Corrigan has announced that construction is set to begin on the
Anderson Athletic Center, which will be the new state-of-the-art home for the
Black Knights' sprint football, softball and volleyball teams.
"We have an incredible opportunity to offer top-level support for many of our
cadet-athletes thanks to the Anderson Athletic Center," said Corrigan. "Lee
and Penny Anderson have been transformational for the Academy and the Athletic
Department. Not only have the Anderson's been instrumental in developing our
men's and women's rugby programs, but have endowed head coaching positions and
contributed their time and mentorship. The building timeline would not have
been met without the significant support of Bill Sandbrook, John and Ellen
Drew, and Bill and Diane Spurgeon and the Class of 1981."

AOG Announces The Rockbound Highland
Home Program Welcoming Grads Home
 Who
says you can’t go home again? For 47 months, West Point was
your home—through Beast Barracks, Mess Hall meals, clubs and team experiences,
competitions on the fields of friendly strife, the Indoor Obstacle Course,
graduation, and even the gloom period.
Most alumni love to visit their alma maters, and West Point
graduates are certainly no exception. However, because the Academy is on an
active-duty Army post, gaining access and touring West Point present unique
challenges.
To enhance services for the Long Gray Line, the West Point
Association of Graduates has launched The Rockbound Highland Home
Program, a new program ensuring that every graduate coming back
home to the Academy is welcomed in the special way that family should be.
The Rockbound Highland Home Program was
created exclusively for USMA graduates and is designed to assist you in
navigating post security procedures, offer special access to select MWR (Morale,
Welfare, and Recreation) facilities and services, and provide “insider” tours
for you and your guests. For information on how to support the Rockbound
Highland Home Program and other WPAOG initiatives,

Should You Be Enrolled Into The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor - Consider
The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, located in New
Windsor NY, commemorates Purple Heart recipients through its Roll of Honor, a
database of Purple Heart recipients representing all wars for which the award
has been available. All enrollments are done voluntarily and are made by
recipients, their families or friends. There is no comprehensive list of
recipients maintained by the US Government.
The Roll of Honor is viewable both in the Hall of Honor and
on-line. The version that is viewable in the Hall allows for a total of six
screens per recipient. Profiles can contain pictures as well as written
narratives of the experience of the recipient. The on-line version is an
abbreviated, single page commemoration for each recipient and can be viewed from
any computer via the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor website,
www.thepurpleheart.com.
According to information gathered from the 2010 Register of
Graduates and the 50th Anniversary Yearbook questionnaires, at least 50
classmates have received 64 awards of the Purple Heart. I have compared this
information with that on the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor website and
believe that only 5 classmates are included in the current Roll of Honor.
If you are a Purple Heart recipient, I encourage you to
complete and submit the necessary enrollment information that can be found at
www.thepurpleheart.com/enrollment.

Were they sent to become leaders of men.
