TRIANGLE, Va. -- Virginia Army National Guard Specialist David J. Stanford, of Triangle, is heading onward to his first year at West Point United States Military Academy, starting this July.
In June 2012, the Virginia Army National Guard's 29th Infantry Division had one of its Infantrymen (who had deployed to Iraq with the Virginia Army National Guard in 2011, reassigned to the United States Military Academy Preparatory School (USMAPS) at West Point. It was a long, challenging academic year, and not every Soldier assigned to USMAPS had what it takes to move upward and onward to West Point at the end of their year, Stanford’s father, Dan, who is deployed in Afghanistan, told Potomac Local News in an email.Â
David Stanford learned on May 3 that he was accepted into West Point, who member of the Virginia Army National Guard's 29th Infantry Division's only representative of this year's USMAPS class, said Dan Stanford.
