	The West Point Association of Graduates (WPAOG) is the Alumni Association for the United States Military Academy (USMA). The WPAOG mission is to serve West Point and its Graduates. WPAOG is the primary private organization authorized to raise private funds on behalf of the USMA. As a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation, its philanthropic pursuits maintain the “Margin of Excellence” at West Point, providing needed support for over 170 Cadet activities, cultural immersion programs, scholarships and facilities. The Association of Graduates was organized on 22 May 1869 to promote "social and fraternal" communion (NY Times, 22 May 1869, Page 6).
	The Long Gray Line Society was established to strengthen the original WPAOG social and fraternal charter. The Long Gray Line Society is an independent member-supported organization that promotes the study and discussion of military history, defence, security and international affairs, and is inseparately linked to support of West Point Cadet activities, for the benefit of its members, the Corps of Cadets and the interested public. Ken Fleischer is the Executive Director of the Long Gray Line Society. The Long Gray Line Society, Inc. is a registered New York not-for-profit corporation.
