William W. (Bill) Mogan shares an engaging personal story that leads him along a path to West Point and the Class of 1962. His experiences there and after graduation cause him to develop a deep and abiding respect and affection for his classmates. The author writes along parallel tracks of his own personal experience and those of twenty-eight of his West Point colleagues he believes exemplify the motto of the United States Military Academy: Duty, Honor, Country. While the reading public may recognize the names of only a few of the classmates featured by the author, members of the profession of arms will be sure to know many of them. Yet this is not a book about the military exploits of highly decorated soldiers, marines, and airmen. Rather it emphasizes the broad contributions to the nation by a cross section of one West Point class, while in and out of uniform. One cannot complete the book without gaining a deeper appreciation of not just the dedication and sacrifice displayed by the men individually but also a more complete understanding of the mission of our country's school for soldiers, the United States Military Academy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 19, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67981553991987,"sku":"9781438997582","price":46.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/znfPPlvon_9781438997582.webp?v=1794559923","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/sons-of-slum-and-gravy-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
