DUTY HONOR COUNTRY (SHORT) 

A short excerpt from the beginning of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's Thayer Award Acceptance Speech, May 12, 1962.
The U.S. Military Academy at West Point's mission is "to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career of professional excellence and service to the Nation as an officer in the United States Army."
