WICHITA, KS — Today Congressman Mike Pompeo, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, announced the names of the young Kansans who will receive a nomination from the Fourth Congressional District of Kansas for appointment to one of the United States service academies for the Class of 2017.
Seventeen Kansas students have been selected this year by Congressman Pompeo from the applicants who were interviewed by the Fourth Congressional District’s Service Academy Nominations Board. The Fourth District Nominations Board consists of eleven Kansans who are veterans of armed services and volunteer to assist in this important mission. Members of the Fourth District Nominations Board were selected by Representative Pompeo to aid in the nominations process.
“The day I learned that I had been nominated by my Congressman to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point is one I will always remember. I am proud to nominate these seventeen outstanding men and women to represent the Fourth District of Kansas at our nation’s service academies. This year’s applicants are all so talented, to have received the Board’s nomination is a worthy accomplishment. These young people are the future of our nation’s military and the future of our national security and I wish them all the best,” Congressman Pompeo said.
Upon receiving the nomination by Congressman Pompeo, the applicants must still meet the admission requirements of each service academy. The academies will make the final decisions on whom they will admit in early 2013. The honor of attending a service academy comes with an obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation.
