The 30th anniversary of the Iranian hostage crisis
Summary
The 30th anniversary of the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979-1980 was observed Jan. 20-22 with 15 former captives and five members of the rescue team returning to West Point, the site of their original homecoming in January 1981. The entire Corps of Cadets formed a cordon along Thayer Walkway to salute and cheer their arrival at 9:10 a.m., Jan. 21, as the group started their day’s activities, which will include panel discussions with cadets and faculty, plus lunch in the Cadet Mess Hall.
