A Plainview cadet at the United States Military Academy was recently recognized by the New York State Assembly. CDT Gregory Kies was introduced by his Assemblymember, Charles Lavine (D-North Shore) as part of West Point Day on April 26.

A member of the Plainview-Old Bethpage John F Kennedy High School, Class of 2020, Kies is majoring in geospatial information science with the intention of being commissioned as a field artillery or armor officer.

“I was honored to introduce Cadet Kies in the Assembly Chamber on West Point Day,” Lavine said. “The child of a family that has been dedicated to public service, Greg has been committed to our community since the time he was a little kid. The commitment of Cadet Kies, and all the men and women there that day, is an inspiration. They represent our promise for the future.”
