Wedding at West Point

Saturday I had the chance to attend my friend Casey's wedding in the Catholic chapel of the Most Holy Trinity at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he was a cadet.

My other friend, Scott, who is also an alum was at the wedding, too, and took me on a tour of the campus.

The pictures below were taken atop the roof of the Library overlooking the Hudson.

The wedding and tour were great experiences and made me more grateful 1) for my wife and 2) those who serve our country.

Perhaps the biggest highlight was the performance at the reception dinner by the Pipes and Drums of the Corp of Cadets (www.usma.edu/uscc/dca/clubs/.../pipd.html)

i had the opportunity to tour West Point many years ago. It certainly is a beautiful place on the river.

Scotty, I couldn't get the link to work. Wanted to see the pipers.

Sorry about that, Maggie; I posted this entry from my iPhone, and it appears that the address got abbreviated somehow. It should have been http://www.usma.edu/uscc/dca/clubs/Club Setup Info/pipd.html

That being said, it is a very simple page that only really offers a very brief description. However, if you do a Google video search for "The Pipes and Drums of the Corps of Cadets" you can find some of their performances.
