Last week, Congressman David Kustoff (TN-08), issued the following statement after calling each West Tennessee student who received a nomination to one of the five military academies.
Several Collierville students were among those named.
“Congratulations to every West Tennessee student who received a nomination to our military service academies,” said Kustoff. “One of my favorite parts of this job is calling these young men and women to let them know they were nominated to one of our military academies.
“This is an incredible honor,” he continued, “and I am so proud of these men and women who choose to serve our nation.”
