Every year rings from past graduates are donated to be melted down and used to create rings for the newest West Point graduates. Through this process, the figurative aspects of “grip hands” become literal, imbuing each new West Point class ring with all the strength, wisdom, and principles of the “Corps of an earlier day.”
This year's ceremony will include the donation of Lou Genuario's ring.
The Ring Melt Ceremony will be streamed live on YouTube on Friday, January 9 beginning at 12:45pm EST. Tune in this Friday to the West Point Association of Graduates YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/WPAOG/streams
Please feel free to forward this link to family, friends, and classmates who may wish to watch. The video will be available for viewing at the same link after the ceremony.
