As I was leaving
my hotel this morning,

:02:06

the doorman asked me,

:02:10

"Where are you
bound for, sir?"

:02:12

When I replied,
"West Point,"

:02:16

he remarked,
"It's a beautiful place.

:02:21

Have you ever
been there before?"

:02:33

Duty, Honor, Country.

:02:38

Those three hallowed words
reverently dictate...

:02:43

what you ought to be,

:02:46

what you can be...

:02:48

and what you will be.

:02:50

They are your
rallying points.

:02:53

They give you
a temper of the will,

:02:56

a quality of
the imagination,

:02:58

a vigor of
the emotions,

:03:01

a freshness of
the deep springs of life,

:03:05

a temperamental predominance
of courage over timidity,

:03:09

an appetite
for adventure...

:03:12

over love of ease.

:03:15

In this way, they will teach you
to be an officer...

:03:20

and a gentleman.

:03:21

From your ranks come the great
captains who will hold...

:03:26

the nation's destiny
in their hands...

:03:29

the moment
the war tocsin sounds.

:03:33

The Long Gray Line...

:03:36

has never failed us.

:03:39

Were you to do so,

:03:41

a million ghosts
in olive drab...

:03:45

and brown khaki,
in blue and gray...

:03:48

would rise from
their white crosses...

:03:51

thundering
those magic words:

:03:53

Duty, Honor, Country!

:03:59

This does not mean
that you are warmongers.
