West Point Graduate Alix Idrache got emotional on Saturday May 21 as he graduates from the U.S. Military at West Point.  He says “I am from Haiti and never did I imagine that such honor would be one day bestowed upon me, knowing that one day I will be a pilot is humbling beyond words.  I could not help but be flooded with emotions knowing that I will be leading these men and women who are wiling to give their all to preserve what we evaluate as the American way of life.”
