Quartermaster Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 The Empire City Garrison was asked to attend a tribute to the West Point Volunteers to celebrate there achievement in raising over $2 million dollars to help surrounding communities and families in need. In attendance was our XO Bob D. as Vader, Gerrit O. in his ROTJ TK, and the MEPD's very own John H. AKA "Quartermaster" as TD. The event was called "The Force behind the Force" with a Star Wars Theme. A 3 star general was in attendance as well as other high ranking military personel. The West Point musicians introduced us to the crowd by playing the "Imperial March" and the rest of the night played an array of Star Wars music from the movies. After the inside festivities, we were asked to go outside where the Cadets were marching in formation on the main fields. Vader was then given the honor of reviewing the troops and the troops did something only done for the President and high ranking military officials. Each group acknowledged him with "eyes right" when passing. Even the color guard presented to him. It was a special troop and one to remember. Here are a few pics from the event...

We were just asked to come back next week to have lunch with the cadets in the mess hall, take a tour of the Point, and later, suit up and escort Vader for a few surprise room inspections!
