鈥淵ou have to understand, what a privilege it is that someone who comes from modest works is molded by this institution,鈥� Malek said at the ribbon cutting, 鈥淚t developed into something of worth hopefully, by the leadership and characteristics of this institution. By the lessons of integrity, of honor, of discipline and persistence that are here. What a privilege it is to gain that and to have the opportunity to apply that across a career and then have the privilege to come back and have the opportunity to do something for my alma mater that is so appreciated and is pretty neat.鈥�

Malek reflected on the opportunity to donate and the motivation behind his philanthropy, 鈥淲e all give back to say 鈥榯hank you鈥� for letting us repay in part the debt of honor we feel we owe to the world鈥檚 greatest leader development institution.鈥�

Malek hopes that the visitor center will, 鈥渢ell the West Point story and inspire new generations to serve our Army and our nation. The 15,000 square foot exhibit space, housed inside the new state-of-the-art visitor鈥檚 center, will do just that by honoring the many remarkable leaders that have formed the Long Gray Line.鈥澨�
