The West Point Society of Naples (WPSN) is pleased to inform our membership that we have received a special, generous donation of a West Point framed print, Duty, Honor, Country by Paul Steucke, from the family of one of our Society’s founding members. As the donor requested, our intention is to offer this print for sale to our members with any monies received going to the WPSN.

About the print:

The artist, Paul Stuecke, hoped to convey the emotion and significance of the moment that was shared by everyone when General MacArthur gave his farewell address to the Corps.

The ghosts represent a historical cross section of soldiers and are dedicated to the memory of all military who have served our country. From left to right:

• World War Two Officer, D-day Normandy;
• Vietnam advisor;
• Captain, Korean War;
• General John Blackjack Pershing;
• General Robert E. Lee;
• General George Patton;
• World War One doughboy;
• and General Ulysses S. Grant.

General Douglas MacArthur is at the rostrum, General William Westmoreland lower right corner, and General Groves is with his back to the viewer.

Photos of the print with “Certificates of Authenticity” are included below.
