On the third Saturday in May, millions of American Patriots observe Armed Forces Day, offering due honor and respect for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen serving our nation.

“When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen; and we shall most sincerely rejoice with you in the happy hour when the establishment of American Liberty, upon the most firm and solid foundations shall enable us to return to our Private Stations in the bosom of a free, peacefully and happy Country.”
—George Washington (1775)

We are saddened to see an incredible icon close its doors after 62 years serving the West Point - Highland Falls community. We wish Rudy and Sadie Schade the very best in their retirement, and pray for good health and happiness always.

We are honored to have been gifted the Schades restaurant signage and it will proudly hang in the dining room at Our Rockbound Highland Home.

It will serve as a wonderful reminder of decades of incredible food, service, and party pizzas for family, neighbors, and cadets. ❤️

Be safe when traveling to West Point.

⭐️Road Closure Updates⭐️

As of July 11th, 4:30 p.m., the only open route to/from West Point, indicated in green on this map, is via:

I87 North or South to Exit 16
NY 17 to US Rte 6
US Rte 6 to 293
- Stay on 293 to Washington
- Take 9W South to Stony Lonesome

All other roads North and South of West Point are closed, or only intermittently open.

1. Sections of 9W, RT 32, Palisades Interstate Parkway, and RT 218 are currently closed due to storm damage.

2. Route 9W was damaged by the storm, but the damage appears to be principally to the running surface and drainage rather than large-scale damage such as washouts or landslides. 9W is anticipated to be open with lane reductions northbound in 2 or 3 days and southbound in 3 to 5 days. Timelines will clarify as the work progresses.

3. Route 218 suffered severe damage in places and no timeline for restoration is possible at this time. 218 is not a critical route, so 9W and Rt 32 are being prioritized above 218.

4. Route 32 has been damaged but the damage is not severe. Evaluation is ongoing, particularly in the area of Trout Brook Rd., but limited traffic may be possible as soon as 2-3 days.

5. The abutment(s) of the bridge crossing Popolopen Creek on 9W between Fort Montgomery and the Bear Mountain Circle have been damaged but the bridge did not suffer a catastrophic failure. Senior DOT personnel and engineers were on-site today undertaking an evaluation and should have further information on a restoration timeline very soon. DOT acknowledges this critical link is a very high priority.

6. Palisades Interstate Parkway is anticipated to be reopened in 2 to 3 days, but the evaluation is ongoing.

Thank you for your patience as we continue support efforts! Stay safe!
