Military personnel will continue in a normal duty status, without pay until such time as a continuing resolution or appropriations are passed by Congress and signed into law.

The West Point Museum is pleased to exhibit the iconic West Point oil painting titled "The Long Gray Line", by Ben Maile.

The artwork is well known to graduates of the United States Military Academy and was acquired by the donor directly from the artist who worked on sketches and mock-ups of the artwork in their dining room while the family was living at West Point.

The original oil painting is on exhibit in the West Point Gallery on the first floor of the West Point Museum!
