May 24 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump on Saturday called each of the 1,002 U.S. Military Academy graduates "winners" during his commencement address in West Point, N.Y.
The ceremony took place about 50 miles north of New York City at Michie Stadium, which has hosted commencement ceremonies since the 1960s. In 2020, he addressed the cadets in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic at a ceremony that took place at West Point's more open Plain.
"Every cadet in the field before me should savor this morning, because this is a day you will never, ever forget," Trump said. "In a few moments, you will become graduates of the most elite and storied military academy in human history, and you will become officers in the greatest and most powerful army the world has ever known.
"And I know because I rebuilt that Army, and I rebuilt the military," said Trump, wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat.
