In this episode of American Moments, we reflect on a powerful spring day in May 1962, when an 82-year-old General Douglas MacArthur returned to West Point to accept the prestigious Sylvanus Thayer Award. His farewell address to the Corps of Cadets was more than a speech—it was a timeless tribute to service, sacrifice, and the values that shape America’s defenders. It remains one of the greatest orations of the 20th century.
