Brady: “America is blessed that so many outstanding young leaders from our district wish to serve their nation.”

U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady (R-The Woodlands) has announced that nine students from District 8 have received appointments to a U.S. military service academy. Earlier this year Brady nominated local students, and these were accepted by West Point, the Naval Academy or the Air Force Academy.

“I’m proud of these young men and women of character who have been selected by our nation’s military academies,” said Brady. “As graduates they will be our nation’s and our community leaders, and that is never more important than in these challenging times.”

They are:

The US Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs

• Luke Easton, Oak Ridge High School
• Tyler Mortenson, The Woodlands College Park High School
• Collin Page, Klein Collins High School
• Maxwell Page, Montgomery High School
• Tyler Rapp, The Woodlands High School

The US Military Academy at West Point

• Aaron Cheng, the Woodlands College Park High School
• Nicola Newton, Conroe High School
• Corey Sanders, the Woodlands High School

The US Naval Academy at Annapolis

• Daniel Carroll, Magnolia West High School

Each member of Congress is guaranteed one appointment to each of the four service academies: Air Force, West Point, Naval, and Merchant Marine. Since the 8th Congressional District of Texas is known for exceptional candidates, Brady’s office consistently has a much higher acceptance level.

“America is blessed that so many outstanding young leaders from our district want to serve their nation,” concluded Brady. “These incoming cadets and midshipmen are embarking on a path where they will be tested day in and day out as they learn to be the next generation of military leaders our country needs.”
