Today, Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10) announced eight young men and women from North Carolina's Tenth Congressional District have accepted appointments to our nation's military service academies for the Class of 2020. Each of these students applied for a nomination through Congressman McHenry's office and were interviewed by the Congressman's Military Advisory Committee. "The young men and women who attend our nation's service academies are the best our country has to offer and once again this year, the Tenth District will be well represented at the academies," said Congressman McHenry. "I would like to congratulate each of these eight students on this tremendous achievement. Over the last few months, I've had the opportunity to meet with and talk to each of these students. I'm confident they will be excellent representatives for western North Carolina at the academies and later as leaders of our military." The eight students accepting appointments from Congressman McHenry will be attending either the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York; the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland; and the United States Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado.
