WHO ARE WE?
Our Club is made up of parents, grandparents, and family members of incoming and current cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Some of us are USMA graduates ourselves and others have sons and daughters now currently serving in the US Armed Forces. Regardless of prior experience, with the military or not, we are all committed to supporting the men and women who lead our soldiers in defense of our country.
We encourage families to join the Club and partner with us in supporting one another throughout our West Point experience and beyond. In general, Parent Clubs and the West Point Association of Graduates have the common purpose of furthering public understanding and support of the Military Academy. They do this by enabling parents and other friends of West Point to gather together in support of the Academy's aims, ideals, standards, and achievements.
For this reason, we proudly partner with the West Point Society of Central Florida, made up of West Point alumni, family and friends, as well as the West Point Association of Graduates.
