On Saturday, April 11th, the West Point Society of New England will hold the Founder’s Day Dinner in Boston. The dinner is in honor of West Point’s founding on March 16, 1802, and to honor cadets. This year marks the 223th anniversary of Thomas Jefferson endorsing and signing the Military Peace Establishment Act, an act that resonates across the annals of American military history. This landmark legislation solidified the U.S. Military Academy’s place as an academic institution devoted to the principles of leadership, service, and excellence.
The dinner attendees included Old Grads and 20 Incoming Cadet Candidates with their parents. It was a great opportunity for the Candidates to meet their future classmates and for the parents to get to know each other. LTC Steve Gilland, 61stSuperintendent will be the keynote speaker.
