Testimonials

"It is almost certain that when the first International Military Student stepped off the steamboat or train in downtown Leavenworth in 1894, some helpful soul directed him to the fort and perhaps even offered him a ride in their wagon.  Since then the citizens of Leavenworth and the Greater Kansas City area have continued to give willingly of their time and affection to support and befriend the thousands of International Military Students and their families who travel from all over the world to live in our community and study at Fort Leavenworth.

The dedication of our International Military Student Sponsors is legendary.  They are the truest of ambassadors for our nation - setting a sparkling example of friendship;  and they contribute tremendously  to the outstanding reputation enjoyed by the United States Army Command and General Staff College throughout the free world.

"Words cannot express the gratitude that I would like to share for your great spirit and volunteer actions to help an international student make America their home away from home for a year or more.  I believe that each of you have played a crucial role in American relations around the globe and deserve a great big THANK YOU!"
