Exclusive: The Army Secretary has ordered the US military academy at the West Point to restore the school’s crest on the bebals at the West Point Cadet Chapel, reversing the Biden-era’s decision, which has not included the crest while changing the Bibles.
“Since the establishment of the West Point, cadets, officials and soldiers have drawn strength and inspiration from the promise of God,” Army Secretary Dan Driskl said on Friday by Fox News Digital. “The decision to remove the historical crest of the academy from Bibals in Cadet Chapel is still another example of the previous administration that pursues far-fetched politics in our military institutions. I am instructing the West Point to immediately reversed this decision and restore this important symbol of the country.”

The statement of the drisl came after Fox News Digital, stating for the first time that a conservative judicial and government sentinel group filed a case on Tuesday, which was absent from the new bibels against the Defense Department on the documents against the Defense Department on Tuesday.
A West Point spokesperson on Friday refused to provide comments to Fox News Digital.
Judicial Watch first presented an FOIA request in December 2024, demanding records related to bebals, after the McArther Society, a group for West Point Graduates, worried about the possible politicization in the military academy, reported them to remove Shikha from Bibals.

Asked for comment about the new bibels, a spokesperson of the West Point told Fox News Digital that the Chapel’s bibels now have a military academy’s name.
“Bills purchased for the West Point Cadet Chapel is mixed with the ‘United States Millionary Academy, West Point, New York’,” the spokesperson said in a statement on Fox News Digital Wednesday.
The judicial watch filed the original FOIA request to learn more about the decision, due to concerns that the military academy is demanding to eliminate relationships with the group’s label “traditional values”.
But after no response to the documents, the judicial watch on Tuesday filed a case against the Defense Department for documents.
“The heavy lifting of the judicial watch gives results,” Judicial watch president Tom Fiton said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Friday. “Again goes to show how our cases can correct corruption. The US Army and the West Point cannot be wrong in honoring God.”

Religious materials or symbols have been historically faced by mixing with military materials.
In 2012, all four branches of the army pulled out approval for a military chain of Holman Christian Standard Bibals, which was sold in military exchanges amid military exchanges that the series indicated that the Bible acted as the official religious text of military services, according to the military religious freedom foundation.
The West Point Crest has passed through several recurrences, but historically the mascot of the school includes an eagle over Black Nights.
The West Point is one of the several American military academies who train students to become military officers.
