　　Next week, I will go to Normandy to honor the men who stormed the beaches there. And whileit’s hard for many Americans to comprehend the courage and sense of duty that guided thosewho boarded small ships, it’s familiar to you. At West Point, you define what it means to be apatriot.

　　Three years ago, Gavin White graduated from this academy. He then served in Afghanistan.Like the soldiers who came before him, Gavin was in a foreign land, helping people he’d nevermet, putting himself in harm’s way for the sake of his community and his family, of the folksback home. Gavin lost one of his legs in an attack. I met him last year at Walter Reed. He waswounded, but just as determined as the day that he arrived here at West Point -- and hedeveloped a simple goal. Today, his sister Morgan will graduate. And true to his promise, Gavinwill be there to stand and exchange salutes with her. (Applause.)

　　We have been through a long season of war. We have faced trials that were not foreseen, andwe’ve seen divisions about how to move forward. But there is something in Gavin’s character,there is something in the American character that will always triumph. Leaving here, you carrywith you the respect of your fellow citizens. You will represent a nation with history and hope onour side. Your charge, now, is not only to protect our country, but to do what is right andjust. As your Commander-in-Chief, I know you will.

　　May God bless you. May God bless our men and women in uniform. And may God bless theUnited States of America. (Applause.)
