This is another type of war, new in its intensity, ancient in its origin--war by guerrillas, subversives, insurgents, assassins, war by ambush instead of by combat;by infiltration, instead of aggression, seeking victory by eroding and exhausting the enemy instead of engaging him.It is a form of warfare uniquely adapted to what has been strangely called “wars of liberation,” to undermine the efforts of new and poor countries to maintain the freedom that they have finally achieved.全文：西点军校毕业致辞

West Point Military Academy Commencement Address

General Westmoreland, General Lemnitzer, Mr.Secretary, General Decker, General Taylor, members of the graduating class and their parents, gentlemen:

I want to express my appreciation for your generous invitation to come to this graduating class.I am sure that all of you who sit here today realize, particularly in view of the song we have just heard, that you are part of a long tradition stretching back to the earliest days of this country's history, and that where you sit sat once some of the most celebrated names in our Nation's history, and also some who are not so well known, but who, on 100 different battlefields in many wars involving every generation of this country's history, have given very clear evidence of their commitment to their country.So that I know you feel a sense of pride in being part of that tradition, and as a citizen of the United States, as well as President, I want to express our high regard to all of you in appreciation for what you are doing and what you will do for our country in the days ahead.I would also like to announce at this time that as Commander in Chief I am exercising my privilege of directing the Secretary of the Army and the Superintendent of West Point to remit all existing confinements and other cadet punishments, and I hope that it will be possible to carry this out today.General Westmoreland was slightly pained to hear that this was impending in view of the fact that one cadet, who I am confident will some day be the head of the Army, has just been remitted for 8 months, and is about to be released.But I am glad to have the opportunity to participate in the advancement of his military career.My own confinement goes for another two and a half years, and I may ask for it to be extended instead of remitted.I want to say that I wish all of you, the graduates, success.While I say that, I am not unmindful of the fact that two graduates of this Academy have reached the White House, and neither was a member of my party.Until I am more certain that this trend will be broken, I wish that all of you may be generals and not Commanders in Chief.I want to say that I am sure you recognize that your schooling is only interrupted by today's occasion and not ended because the demands that will be made upon you in the service of your country in the coming months and years will be really more pressing, and in many ways more burdensome, as well as more challenging, than ever before in our history.I know that many of you may feel, and many of our citizens may feel that in these days of the nuclear age, when war may last in its final form a day or two or three days before much of the world is burned up, that your service to your country will be only standing and waiting.Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth.I am sure that many Americans believe that the days before World War II were the golden age when the stars were falling on all the graduates of West Point, that that was the golden time of service, and that you have moved into a period where military service, while vital, is not as challenging as it was then.Nothing could be further from the truth.The fact of the matter is that the period just ahead in the next decade will offer more opportunities for service to the graduates of this Academy than ever before in the history of the United States, because all around the world, in countries which are heavily engaged in the maintenance of their freedom, graduates of this Academy are heavily involved.Whether it is in Viet-Nam or in Laos or in Thailand, whether it is a military advisory group in Iran, whether it is a military attachй in some Latin American country during a difficult and challenging period, whether it is the commander of our troops in South Korea--the burdens that will be placed upon you when you fill those positions as you must inevitably, will require more from you than ever before in our history.The graduates of West Point, the Naval Academy, and the Air Academy in the next 10 years will have the greatest opportunity for the defense of freedom that this Academy's graduates have ever had.And I am sure that the Joint Chiefs of Staff endorse that view, knowing as they do and I do, the heavy burdens that are required of this Academy's graduates every day-General Tucker in Laos, or General Harkins in Viet-Nam, and a dozen others who hold key and significant positions involving the security of the United States and the defense of freedom.You are going to follow in their footsteps and I must say that I think that you will be privileged in the years ahead to find yourselves so heavily involved in the great interests of this country.Therefore, I hope that you realize--and I hope every American realizes--how much we depend upon you.Your strictly military responsibilities, therefore, will require a versatility and an adaptability never before required in either war or in peace.They may involve the command and control of modern nuclear weapons and modern delivery systems, so complex that only a few scientists can understand their operation, so devastating that their inadvertent use would be of worldwide concern, but so new that their employment and their effects have never been tested in combat conditions.On the other hand, your responsibilities may involve the command of more traditional forces, but in less traditional roles.Men risking their lives, not as combatants, but as instructors or advisers, or as symbols of our Nation's commitments.The fact that the United States is not directly at war in these areas in no way diminishes the skill and the courage that will be required, the service to our country which is rendered, or the pain of the casualties which are suffered.To cite one final example of the range of responsibilities that will fall upon you: you may hold a position of command with our special forces, forces which are too unconventional to be called conventional, forces which are growing in number and importance and significance, for we now know that it is wholly misleading to call this “the nuclear age,” or to say that our security rests only on the doctrine of massive retaliation.Korea has not been the only battleground since the end of the Second World War.Men have fought and died in Malaya, in Greece, in the Philippines, in Algeria and Cuba and Cyprus, and almost continuously on the Indo-Chinese Peninsula.No nuclear weapons have been fired.No massive nuclear retaliation has been considered appropriate.This is another type of war, new in its intensity, ancient in its origin--war by guerrillas, subversives, insurgents, assassins, war by ambush instead of by combat;by infiltration, instead of aggression, seeking victory by eroding and exhausting the enemy instead of engaging him.It is a form of warfare uniquely adapted to what has been strangely called “wars of liberation,” to undermine the efforts of new and poor countries to maintain the freedom that they have finally achieved.It preys on economic unrest and ethnic conflicts.It requires in those situations where we must counter it, and these are the kinds of challenges that will be before us in the next decade if freedom is to be saved, a whole new kind of strategy, a wholly different kind of force, and therefore a new and wholly different kind of military training.But I have spoken thus far only of the military challenges which your education must prepare you for.The nonmilitary problems which you will face will also be most demanding, diplomatic, political, and economic.In the years ahead, some of you will serve as advisers to foreign aid missions or even to foreign governments.Some will negotiate terms of a cease-fire with broad political as well as military ramifications.Some of you will go to the far corners of the earth, and to the far reaches of space.Some of you will sit in the highest councils of the Pentagon.Others will hold delicate command posts which are international in character.Still others will advise on plans to abolish arms instead of using them to abolish others.Whatever your position, the scope of your decisions will not be confined to the traditional tenets of military competence and training.You will need to know and understand not only the foreign policy of the United States but the foreign policy of all countries scattered around the world who 20 years ago were the most distant names to us.You will need to give orders in different tongues and read maps by different systems.You will be involved in economic judgments which most economists would hesitate to make.At what point, for example, does military aid become burdensome to a country and make its freedom endangered rather than helping to secure it? To what extent can the gold and dollar cost of our overseas deployments be offset by foreign procurement? Or at what stage can a new weapons system be considered sufficiently advanced to justify large dollar appropriations?

In many countries, your posture and performance will provide the local population with the only evidence of what our country is really like.In other countries, your military mission, its advice and action, will play a key role in determining whether those people will remain free.You will need to understand the importance of military power and also the limits of military power, to decide what arms should be used to fight and when they should be used to prevent a fight, to determine what represents our vital interests and what interests are only marginal.Above all, you will have a responsibility to deter war as well as to fight it.For the basic problems facing the world today are not susceptible of a final military solution.While we will long require the services and admire the dedication and commitment of the fighting men of this country, neither our strategy nor our psychology as a nation, and certainly not our economy, must become permanently dependent upon an ever-increasing military establishment.Our forces, therefore, must fulfill a broader role as a complement to our diplomacy, as an arm of our diplomacy, as a deterrent to our adversaries, and as a symbol to our allies of our determination to support them.That is why this Academy has seen its curriculum grow and expand in dimension, in substance, and in difficulty.That is why you cannot possibly have crowded into these 4 busy years all of the knowledge and all of the range of experience which you must bring to these subtle and delicate tasks which I have described.And that is why go to school year after year so you can serve this country to the best of your ability and your talent.To talk of such talent and effort raises in the minds, I am sure, of everyone, and the minds of all of our countrymen, why--why should men such as you, able to master the complex arts of science, mathematics, language, economy, and all the rest devote their lives to a military career, with all of its risks and hardships? Why should their families be expected to make the personal and financial sacrifices that a military career inevitably brings with it? When there is a visible enemy to fight in open combat, the answer is not so difficult.Many serve, all applaud, and the tide of patriotism runs high.But when there is a long, slow struggle, with no immediate visible foe, your choice will seem hard indeed.And you will recall, I am sure, the lines found in an old sentry box in Gibraltar: God and the soldier all men adore In time of trouble--and no more, For when war is over, and all things righted, God is neglected--and the old soldier slighted.But you have one satisfaction, however difficult those days may be: when you are asked by a President of the United States or by any other American what you are doing for your country, no man's answer will be clearer than your own.And that moral motivation which brought you here in the first place is part of your training here as well.West Point was not built to produce technical experts alone.It was built to produce men committed to the defense of their country, leaders of men who understand the great stakes which are involved, leaders who can be entrusted with the heavy responsibility which modern weapons and the fight for freedom entail, leaders who can inspire in their men the same sense of obligation to duty which you bring to it.There is no single slogan that you can repeat to yourself in hard days or give to those who may be associated with you.In times past, a simple phrase, “54-40 or fight” or “to make the world safe for democracy”-that was enough.But the times, the weapons, and the issues are now more complicated than ever.Eighteen years ago today, Ernie Pyle, describing those tens of thousands of young men who crossed the “ageless and indifferent” sea of the English Channel, searched in vain for a word to describe what they were fighting for.And finally he concluded that they were at least fighting for each other.You and I leave here today to meet our separate responsibilities, to protect our Nation's vital interests by peaceful means if possible, by resolute action if necessary.And we go forth confident of support and success because we know that we are working and fighting for each other and for all those men and women all over the globe who are determined to be free.

第二篇：西点军校的毕业戒指

西点的毕业戒指

西点军校的毕业戒指是用18K金打造，正面有三环，中环嵌一颗直径约一厘米的绿宝石，二环镶八颗闪亮的小钻石，三环刻阳文WEST POINT（西点）2006。戒指的左面刻阳文COUNTRY HONOR DUTY（国家荣誉责任），是西点的校训。右面亦是刻阳文1802 WEST POINT，是西点的诞生年。戒指的里面则是主人的姓名LINYANG CAI。戒指制作精良，豪华，大气。据蔡公子介绍，戒指是由西点校友会按毕业生人数制作，不多也不少。售价2680美元，毕业生都必须购买。

美国许多名牌大学的毕业生都有毕业戒指。第一个毕业戒指是西点军校1835年打造的。二十世纪初毕业戒指逐渐流行。有人认为毕业戒指是进入社会和开始承担社会的象征。也有人认为黄金或玉石戒指代表富有和成功，同时表明佩带者属于一个特定的群体。毕业戒指一般戴在右手无名指上。也可以随意佩带。

西点军校的校规非常严格，学习任务非常繁重。学生每天早晨5时半就要起床，中午也不休息，晚上要到12时才睡觉。每餐吃饭时间只能是10分钟。爬山行军经常要背负80磅的装备。若不能完成学习任务或违反校规，要惩罚五小时背包步行。若不服从惩罚将会得到更大的惩罚。其中有学生学就是不堪忍受惩罚结果被责令退学。比起一般大学，虽然军校很辛苦，但是对意志和耐力的磨炼，也更深一层。西点军校的学生几乎是光荣与耻辱共存。

第三篇：毕业致辞

毕业致辞

六月的风携着一股浓浓的火药味，穿梭于城市之间，肆虐于乡村之周，一句例行了三十年的话语：高考，带着他的“绝密”来了，顺便，还有一场挥泪的离别。

2009年9月1 日，一群懵懂的孩子，带着一丝稚气，踏进了三中校园。初秋的炙热依旧不减，飘叶躲过枝叶的阻拦，毅然的盘旋，纷飞，操场上，沸腾的空气蒸干草坪的汗水，我们高举右手，怀揣着欣然向往，面朝国旗，一句“我宣誓”，端庄而不骄奢，让我们即刻归属于——临沂第三中学。

而今，初夏的清爽还未滋润你我的心田，一场名为“毕业”的洪水已倾灌其间。回首三年，当初那片空白的纸张如今已精彩纷呈，你的那片有他的笑颜，我的这片有你的倦容，犹如一场戏，却又胜过一切表演。

望天边云卷云舒，看窗前花开花落。像同十班签了一张为期九个月的契约，作为甲方，我为乙方带来九个月的新活力，乙方却送达甲方一世的情义。我，感激：幽默strong的炮哥，表情丰满的磊哥，亲切认真的娟姐，勤劳负责的越姐，正派风趣的伟哥···还有，陪伴我一路走到尽头的化学老师—芳姐。请允许我代表十班全体青年，致一声：老师，你们辛苦了！

如果说，高中是一个化学反应，那么，反应物应该是一窝散乱的青少年，反应条件是老师做催化剂，产物则是一群奋进的青年，和“一假也不点”的师生情、同学情。

带着合金牙套的晓敏，摇摇摆摆的牙牙哥，能煽会炸的地雷，每天卖萌的眼哥，驷马难追的倔驴，亟待被拉的咧咧，日日一桶水的金刚，来自大城市的荡荡，引领寡妇新时代的村长等等，最后，还有我的三位三年同窗—赵小丽、朱志辉、刘海瑞。我想，有些回忆放着就好，十班的精彩，只有十班人才能真正领略。十班的过去没有我，可他却把他的未来给了我！

举目芸芸众生，放眼山山水水。理想的征程依旧艰难险阻，你，是否还有勇气继续？

2012年6月9日11：00，也许我们之中有人蟾宫折桂，有人与理想失之交臂，无论如何，请你不要后悔曾经在高中战场上挥洒的青春激情，那奋斗过的身影早已书上了你的名字。揩去你的汗水，抹净你的泪痕，随口哼上一句“哟、哟、chei K 闹”，告诉自己，最炫高考风，这就是人生！

三年，奏鸣了一曲激昂澎湃的青春乐章！

三年，书写了一部荡气回肠的生命巨作！

雄关漫道真如铁，而今迈步从头越。人生尚未停止，拼搏何来结束！

任何人的富有不是气质，不是姿容，不是金钱，而是当别人激情殆尽的时候，他却可以说：“我还有力气！”相约十年，十年后，让我看见你们高傲的资本！

出发前，打包好我的‘告诫’：曾经让我每一个神经细胞兴奋过的你们，任何时候，挺直自己的腰杆！

第四篇：毕业致辞

敬爱的老师、亲爱的同学:

大家好!

今天,我很荣幸能代表全体初三毕业生在此发言.初中三年一晃而逝，离别的时刻已悄然而至，三年前，我们在这里相聚，开始用心灵和生命演绎自己的精彩，如今，我们在这里告别，将要踏上各自新的征程！

初中时期的我们如同一棵小树，虽不繁茂却已吐露新芽。我们敬爱的老师，好比一位位辛勤的园丁，日日夜夜关怀着我们，为我们浇灌科学知识的甘露,滴水之恩,当涌泉相报,三年的精心培育,又岂只是滴水?亲爱的同学们，就让我们用热烈的掌声,表达我们对老师最崇高的敬意吧!

今天对我们而言，是一个值得铭记的日子。三年的初中生涯在今天即将结束。此时此刻，我的心情和在座的各位一样：纵然有着欢聚一堂的喜悦，也有着掩藏不住的回忆和留恋。三年的生活，我们过的充实而美丽，我们流过眼泪，却伴着欢笑，我们踏着荆棘，却嗅得万里花香。

有人说，初中生活是一本太仓促的书。是的，三年的时光——一千多页的喜怒哀乐就这样匆匆翻过，但是却给我们留下了那么多生动的细节，那么多精彩的片断。曾经记得三年前那个秋天，我们满怀着希望为着同一个梦想来到xx中学，如今xx中学的角角落落都留下了我们的足迹：教室里，有我们滔滔不绝、慷慨激昂的言语；球场上，有我们奋勇拼搏、永争第一的身姿；xxxx

节的舞台上，有我们清亮的歌声、轻盈的舞步……三年岁月如梭,才织成了我们的似锦前程;几度冷雨几度春秋,才丰盈了我们的如花梦想。这三年中，我们拼搏、奋斗，挥洒晶莹的汗水；三年中，我们努力、刻苦，取得丰硕的成果；这三年中，我们风雨同舟，一齐度过。

如今我们即将从这里毕业，走向下一个起点，不论走到哪里，我们都不会忘记同学间的珍贵情谊，不会忘记老师的谆谆教导，更不会忘记这三年里的成功与挫折。三年来丝丝缕缕的珍贵记忆，我们将永远铭记在心间。

三年已逝，漫长的人生路还需要我们带着勇气继续走下去，不管未来怎样，我们都会时刻铭记自己曾经是一位x中人，以一种积极进取、自强不息的精神状态，不断激励自己，完善自己，为x中增光添彩！

最后，我衷心地祝愿我们的母校桃李满天下！祝各位老师工作顺利，万事如意！

我的讲话完了，谢谢大家！
