Marchant nominates five from Grand Prairie to service academies
U.S. Congressman Kenny Marchant (TX-24) held service academy interviews on January 16 at the district office in Irving. The interviews are necessary for receiving nominations to the prestigious service academies.
From the interviews, many fine applicants from the 24th Congressional district received nominations to the one of the prestigious service academies including five from Grand Prairie.
Nominations include:
Joseph Cheung - U.S. Air Force Academy
Leon Truong - U.S. Air Force Academy
James Hargon - U.S. Military Academy
Bill Huynh - U.S. Military Academy
Taylor Vannatta - U.S. Naval Academy
Each year the five service academies, Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, Naval and the Military Academy at West Point, give appointments to the most deserving nominees from each congressional district. All academies maintain rigorous standards and low acceptance rates and it is considered an honor to be offered an appointment. On average, the monetary value of each education is approximately $250, 000.
