Kenneth Fisher was honored as the 2022 recipient of the West Point Association of Graduates Thayer Award Oct. 6 at Washington Hall during a banquet held in his honor. The Thayer Award is given to a U.S. citizen whose service and accomplishments in the national interest exemplify devotion to the ideals expressed in the academy’s motto: “Duty, Honor, Country.” Fisher, the CEO of Fisher House Foundation, is a tireless advocate for military service members, veterans and their families. His foundation has provided more than 10 million nights of lodging for military families, saving them an estimated $525 million in travel and lodging costs, allowing the families to be with service members recovering from illness or injury far from home. (Above) Fisher stands with U.S. Military Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Steven W. Gilland in front of his portrait now on display in the Thayer Award Room.
