The West Point Class of 2022 takes part in their Affirmation Ceremony this evening August 16, 2020. Each year on the evening before classes begin, the cow class retakes their Oath and affirms their commitment to complete the next two years of study and serve their five-year active duty service obligation, followed by three years of Reserves duty.
Tonight, the Class of 1972, their 50-Year Affiliation class, will virtually "grip hands" with the Class of 2022 to congratulate them on their Affirmation. LTG (R) Robert L. VanAntwerp ’72 will address the Class of 2022 via video at the Ceremony.
The ceremony will be livestreamed on West Point YouTube channel starting at 7pm at the link below:

Proud and True, ‘72
For Many, Stand the Few '22

Thank you my friend Ken Kraetzer for making us aware, that the USMA West Point Class of 2022 took part in their Affirmation Ceremony this evening August 16, 2020. I am curious when this ceremony began.
I don't remember an Affirmation Ceremony for the class of 1980 in May/June 1978 when we became Cows. At that point I still an enlistment obligation which was fulfilled in November 1978.
