West Point Military Academy, “With Honor We Lead”

This cover features a quartet of pictures — an aerial shot of the West Point campus, the academy's insignia, a photograph from the campus grounds, and a cropped photograph of cadets at graduation — set against a United States flag. I positioned the text "United States Military Academy // West Point" in the lower right.

For postage, I used one 5¢ ultramarine West Point stamp from 1937 (Scott #789) and one U.S. Flag Forever coil stamp from 2016 (Scott #5053). They are cancelled with a "Graduation Day Station" pictorial postmark from West Point, New York dated May 21, 2016.
