Cadets, staff and faculty gathered at Washington Hall to attend the annual Sylvanus Thayer Award Banquet to honor philanthropist Kenneth Fisher as this year’s awardee for his dedicated service to military service members and veterans on Oct. 6 at the U.S. Military Academy.

Through his steadfast leadership of the Fisher House Foundation, Fisher provided, at no cost, a home away from home for more than 430,000 families while service members and veterans received medical treatment.
