Room Dedication Program
The Room Dedication Program has recently been implemented at The Thayer Hotel. Each guest room is dedicated to a distinguished graduate of West Point. Each room's décor reflects the accomplishments of an individual who has made significant contributions to the nation and the world. Only the most accomplished and distinguished have a room at The Thayer Hotel named and decorated in their honor. All chosen honorees, selected by committee, are now part of the storied hotel's history. Their names and accomplishments are listed as part of a dedication display that has created a museum inside of a hotel. Some notable graduates of West Point who have a room dedicated to them include: General Martin Dempsey, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Brigadier General Rebecca Halstead, the first female USMA Graduate General Officer.

Famous quotes containing the words room, dedication and/or program:
““Mother” has always been a generic term synonymous with love, devotion, and sacrifice. There’s always been something mystical and reverent about them. They’re the Walter Cronkites of the human race . . . infallible, virtuous, without flaws and conceived without original sin, with no room for ambivalence.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“The Apache have a legend that the coyote brought them fire and that the bear in his hibernations communes with the spirits of the “overworld” and later imparts the wisdom gained thereby to the medicine men.”
—Administration in the State of Arizona, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
