Harris, 1st woman to give commencement speech at West Point, welcomes cadets to 'unsettled world'

1. I watched it streamed live. It was moving. This year's graduates are so lucky

to have her. I still feel sorry for the WP Class of 2020 having to endure trump's speech on top of everything else they were going through in the middle of the pandemic. The only good thing about 2020 was the underclassmen didn't have to attend it.

I love our VP. Her words were spot on. She captured the moment outlining the threats we face domestically and abroad while still acknowledging what the graduates have accomplished in the 4 years they've been at West Point. Academy cadets make a huge commitment just to be there and they will continue to sacrifice for our country for a number of years in the future. I hope for their safety, which includes never again allowing a madman to occupy the position of Commander in Chief.
