KABUL, Afghanistan — Army West Point Military Academy graduate Lt. Col. Scott Hamilton, chief of the National Military Academy of Afghanistan support team, and NMAA staff plant apple trees March 27 at the NMAA in commemoration of West Point Academy's annual Founder's Day celebration. Three trees were dedicated to the memory of three West Point graduates who were killed in Afghanistan during the past calendar year. The event was held shortly after NMAA students and staff celebrated the beginning of the academy's fourth academic year.
