WEST GROVE — Maggie L. Weir of Landenberg has graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Weir is an active firefighter at West Grove Fire Company. Her father, Ron, is a past ambulance line officer, life member, and firefighter. Her brother Austin, is also a volunteer firefighter, with all three running out of the London Britain station. She will be serving as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army
The U.S. Military Academy at West Point’s mission is “to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career of professional excellence and service to the nation as an officer in the United States Army.”
Graduates then enter service in the U.S. Army as commissioned officers. Maggie will serve in the military police where she intends to make her lifelong career in the U.S. Army. Each year, the academy admits just 1,100 young men and women.
To attend one of the country’s service academies requires nomination by the U.S. Senate. Weir’s accomplishment is an honor for her family, the fire company, the Avon Grove community, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
