The U.S. Military Academy at West Point has made the decision to remove the “Duty, Honor, Country” motto from its mission statement.
As we have done nine times in the past century, we have updated our mission statement to now include the Army values [of] loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, integrity and personal courage,” Army Col.
