Religion at West Point Trivia Quiz

One would think that religion in military academies, especially West Point, is either absent or is in a minimal amount. However, from my recent trip, I found out that this is not true. In fact, it is present almost everywhere.

Answer: The West Point Cadet Prayer

". . . Strengthen and increase our admiration for honest dealing and clean thinking and suffer not our hatred and hypocrisy and pretense ever to diminish. Encourage us in our endeavor to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong, and never be content with a half truth when the whole can be won.

Help us to maintain the honor of the Corps untarnished and unsullied and to show forth in our lives the ideals of West Point in doing our duty to God and our country. All of which we ask in the name of the Great Friend and Master of all. Amen." -The Cadet Prayer
