HONORING THE 2020 UNITED STATES SERVICE ACADEMY-BOUND STUDENTS
______
HON. VAN TAYLOR
of texas
in the house of representatives
Thursday, June 25, 2020
Mr. TAYLOR. Madam Speaker, it is my great honor to recognize those
young men and women from Texas' Third Congressional District who have
accepted an appointment to one of our prestigious United States Service
Academies.
The United States Services Academies have long been known for
selecting well-rounded students who have achieved the highest standard
of academics, athletics, and civic engagement. Each of these candidates
have gone through a highly competitive and rigorous process to get
where they are today. Their commitment to excellence both inside and
outside of the classroom has set the stage for success as they train
towards becoming future military leaders proudly representing Texas'
Third Congressional District and our nation.
In beginning this new chapter of service, I am certain these patriots
will obtain the finest education and military training available. It is
with great hope for the future I thank these students for their
selfless commitment and the sacrifices they will make in the years to
come.
As one who has worn the uniform, it is now my privilege to
congratulate these students as they embark on this new mission, and I
ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating our young leaders as they
prepare to go forth in serving our nation with unwavering commitment
and distinction.
