Sons of Slum and Gravy chronicles the coming of age of a child of the 1950's. William W. (Bill) Mogan shares an engaging personal story that leads him along a path to West Point and the Class of 1962. His experiences there and after graduation cause him to develop a deep and abiding respect and affection for his classmates. The author writes along parallel tracks of his own personal experience and those of twenty-eight of his West Point colleagues he believes exemplify the motto of the United States Military Academy: Duty, Honor, Country. While the reading public may recognize the names of only a few of the classmates featured by the author, members of the profession of arms will be sure to know many of them. Yet this is not a book about the military exploits of highly decorated soldiers, marines, and airmen. Rather it emphasizes the broad contributions to the nation by a cross section of one West Point class, while in and out of uniform. One cannot complete the book without gaining a deeper appreciation of not just the dedication and sacrifice displayed by the men individually but also a more complete understanding of the mission of our country's school for soldiers, the United States Military Academy.
