Ladies and gentlemen,
for 141 years, old soldiers like myself
have stood here on this day
and told the finest of America's young men
the meaning of the word "commencement".
It is a beginning, we told them.
But today,
this day,
it has another meaning, an end.
An end to nearly
a century and a half of tradition
and an end to the heart of us.
I have been informed
that Bunker Hill Academy is to be closed,
all of its buildings torn down,
nothing to be left...
but memories.
It is the decision of the board of trustees
in their wisdom that this institution be sold
and the land developed
for its real estate potential.
In order to allow
the incoming seniors to graduate
and the underclassmen
to seek enrolment elsewhere,
the board has graciously extended
the date of termination for one year.
One year.
and look out over these young men
and of course I am reminded of other
commencement days and other young men,
men of courage and conviction,
men who have given everything.
In Mexico.
In the great catastrophe of the Civil War.
In Flanders and the Argonne.
In the jungles of the Philippines
and on Omaha Beach.
In the snows of Bastogne,
in the Mekong Delta
and at the siege of Khe Sanh.
How, then,
can others say this land is for sale?
It has been purchased and paid for
with the blood of our graduates.
I am a veteran of many terrible battles.
But no battle is more important than this one,
and this final battle I intend to win.
We have a year.
Entire wars have been won in less time.
Men of the corps,
so long as breath and spirit remain,
we must fight to preserve this academy
so that the traditions that were born here
may endure here.
We must pledge ourselves to that mission.
Yes, come in.
Major Moreland
requesting permission to speak.
Go ahead, Major.
Sir, those of us staying summer session
were wondering... We wondered if...
Stand at ease, Major.
Sir, how can they do this?
