Not all West Pointers are a Success.


 

This is a very short story of two of my West Point classmates who didn’t make it in this world of ours.



Excerpt

You hear so much about the ‘hero’s” of West Point, names like John J. Pershing, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant and even General George Custer. But no one knows the stories of Marv Nilsen, “Waxey” Gordon, the graduates who never make it to the top as a General. For going to and graduating from West Point, one of the top schools in the United States, does not ensure one of a rich rewarding life.

Are all graduates successful? No, I’m afraid not.
