KUWAIT - Richard LeBaron, U.S. ambassador to Kuwait, joined top Third Army officers and Kuwait's top foreign minister March 21 to celebrate Founders' Day, an annual gathering of United States Military Academy graduates. LeBaron was welcomed by Maj. Gen. Dennis E. Hardy, the Third Army deputy commanding general, and Brig. Gen. Stuart M. Dyer, 335th Theater Signal Command (Provisional) commanding general and 1978 West Point graduate, for the ceremony.
Founders' Day has been celebrated since 1914, when a group of West Point graduates met at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The celebration has since expanded to USMA graduates across the globe every March.
Dyer addressed the attendees and said, "Our alma mater continues to amaze me with the quality of young Army officers that graduate every year; many who are now leading our nation's sons and daughters on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan."
