<p>Just wondering if the Prez or VP might be at the 2009 commencement.</p>
<p>No, the commencement speaker is Janet Napolitano, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, of which the Coast Guard is a part.</p>
<p>The President and VP rotate among the various academies in a four-year cycle. Last year the VP was the speaker and two years ago the President.</p>
