Trump's West Point Speech - Questions?.....

Graduates were told that they were required to come back to the Point for Trump's speech.

Did they have to come back at their own expense or was their travel to the point and lodging paid for by the government? If so - does anyone know how much this cost us?

Also - did any of them test for Covid and were not allowed to attend? And since the speech - have any of them tested positive for Covid?

the travel was on their own expense. Lodging could probably have been handled in dorms.

Don't know about the aftermath. Let's hope none of these bright new military stars are lost to Covid.
