Default USMA Gets the coolest visitors!

One of the most respected and feared men in all the country is visiting WP next Tuesday. Even the boogey man checks his closet for him. That's right; it's Chuck Norris! How very cool for our cadets!!

Cadet: Yea, he high fived me and we talked for a second.............He is kinda
short.

Me: that is cool, did tell him he is short to his face?

Cadet: are you kidding he is Chuck Norris, he could break me in half just by
looking at me.

I got my book signed and a picture with him. His speech was awesome!

The French cadets quoted the Chuck Norris joke about France surrendering to him. That was pretty funny too.

While Chuck Norris is pretty neat, and I do mean that, I feel sorry for all of you cadets at West Point because you will never get to see Bob Hope Live at a USO show.

That was the greatest tradition I think I ever participated in while serving the United States. I also believe West Point honored him with the Thayer Award but I could be mistaken.

The Colonel who introduced him called West Point the Chuck Norris Prepatory Academy.
