Generation to generation is a beautiful thing to watch.
00:04
Graduating today is to get Ricky McMahon, Ricky's great-grandfather.
00:12
Stand up wherever you are, Ricky, and you're like this.
00:16
Ricky's great-grandfather served in World War I.
00:19
His grandfather served in World War II.
00:23
And his uncle, father, and mother all graduated from West Point.
00:28
Where is he?
00:30
In 2004, when Ricky was just a little, little, tiny boy,
00:40
you'll think about that, Ricky, a little, tiny boy.
00:44
His dad, Lieutenant Colonel Michael McMahon,
00:47
made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation in Afghanistan.
00:52
The day Lieutenant Colonel McMahon rests not far from here
00:56
in the West Point Sematary, last year, two decades after losing his father,
01:02
he placed a gold chip from his dad's 1985 class ring,
01:08
into a crucible of 87 of the rings were within a past West Point branch
01:16
that were melted down to forge that was now worn by the class of 125.
01:22
He said, you know, you know what you were?
01:25
I want one.
01:28
Ricky, I want one.
01:31
Each of you will carry Michael's memory with you always as you continue.
01:35
The legacy he gave you, it gave you something that would be so proud.
01:41
He is proud.
01:42
He looks down.
01:44
Ricky and his mom, Jeanette, he'll embody what this place is all about,
01:50
and I know Michael.
01:51
He's up there.
01:52
He's smiling broadly.
01:54
He's so proud.
01:55
He's so proud.
01:56
He's so proud.
01:56
He's a man.
01:57
And as a man, it couldn't be at ease.
02:01
I'm a man, it couldn't be more proud.
02:03
I want to just, I just love that story.
02:06
Everybody's great.
02:07
They're going to remember you.
02:08
They're going to remember your family.
02:10
And most importantly, you're going to remember a great tradition.
02:13
It's a great tradition of West Point and of winners.
02:18
Thank you very much.
02:19
It's great to meet you.
02:21
You can sit down.
02:21
You want to come up?
02:22

02:23
Come on.
02:24
Come on.
02:24
Come on.
02:24
Come on up here.
02:33
That's nice.
02:36
You're an handsome guy.
02:38
They're all good in the air.
02:39
I don't know what's going on.
02:40
The whole crowd is beautiful.
02:42
Thank you very much.
02:43
I'd like to thank my mother.
02:55
I'd like to thank my family.
02:57
And I'd like to thank G3 Go-Go-Fers.
03:00
These are good-looking people.
03:10
I'm begging, G3 Go-Go-Fers.
03:11
What's going on?
03:13
I'm like all a bunch of male models.
03:15
I can't stand them.
