I participated in three events with my sister: the graduation banquet on Friday night held at Washington Hall (dining hall), the graduation at Michie Stadium (football stadium) on Saturday morning at 10am, and her bar pinning ceremony at Lusk Reservoir Saturday afternoon at 2pm. My role was "official photographer." Let me know how I did. :)
This is Peg meeting us 10 minutes before the banquet in front of Washington Statue.
This is Peg with her belly full. They served us Chicken Marsala, Green Beans, Rolls, Garden Salad, and Oreo Cheesecake. General Casey was the guest speaker.
This is the class of 2009's crest. This also appears on one side of her class ring.
Graduation day: they are filing into their seats. She was easy to find.
The tactical officers and NCOs filing into their seats.
The Superintendent and Secretary of Defense Gates. Gates was the graduation speaker.
On her way to the stage to collect her diploma.
I got her right before she got her diploma, and right after...so much for a career in professional photography.
Here they are taking their Oath of Office. It sent goosebumps up my back.
When the First Captain yells, "Class Dismissed" they all throw their hats in the air...and then 6-10 year olds are allowed to storm the field to grab one. Typically the class puts silver dollars inside, but my sister did not. I guess you'd say, the tough economic times affected graduation rituals too. :)
Peg being commissioned as a 2LT...and getting her LT rank attached to her uniform.
Proud parents and their LT. She is Medical Service and will eventually post to Fort Benning.

Very good pictures, you did a great job! She looks so much like you. She must be very happy it's finally over (maybe?).
Great pics! Thanks for sharing. I am so sorry I missed it and seeing
you.
Give her a BIG hug for me!
Love,

Hi, I really enjoyed reading your blog and seeing the pictures of Peggy's graduation. Almost as good as being there... really would have liked to go but Selena had school on that Friday and it made the weekend too short to travel up.
Love ya,
Paul
