Vice president Kamala Harris makes history as the first woman to deliver the West Point commencement speech. Harris told the U.S. Military academy class, they graduated into an increasingly unsettled world where long-standing principles are at risk global security. And global prosperity depend on the leadership of the United States of America. The vice president says America has no greater strategic asset than those wearing our uniform.

Four decades ago, West Point graduated at first class of female cadets, still it's made slow progress, diversifying its ranks. Julie Walker, New York
