Two historic military institutions, the U.S. Army Garrison at Fort Hamilton and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, joined together for a day and invited the public in to have a look behind the scenes.
Fort Hamilton celebrated West Point Day on Saturday, welcoming hundreds of cadets and academy officials to the garrison for a parade and a fair aimed at providing information about the academy to prospective students.
Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen, Jr., superintendent of West Point, and Col. Joseph D. Davidson, commander of Fort Hamilton, also welcomed hundreds of local residents to the fort to meet the cadets.
