My brother is one of those LTs there but he did not attend West Point and neither did the majority of the other LTs with him in the 502nd brigade. Except for the mini-Bush bash, the article gave me a description of where my brother is right now and it brings him closer to me. For that, I am
grateful for this posting.

Its possible that in the company Truscott spent time with (Co B, 1st Bn of the 502d Infantry)the majority or even all were West Pointers, but overall in the battalion and brigade it probably runs between 20-30%. Most of the Army's officers come from ROTC programs.

Tell your brother to keep up the good work--he's in a great unit.
