The United States Military Academy is responding to concerns after its decision to move forward with its graduation ceremony.
The Academy issued a statement saying, in part, "The June 13th graduation ceremony will look different from recent graduation ceremonies because of current social health force protection measures. We are considering courses of action that limit family participation."
The Army says it’s fully committed to the health and safety of its cadets.
President Donald Trump will be the commencement speaker.
