WASHINGTON — This week, Representative Ronny Jackson (TX-13) announced that six students received official appointments to U.S. Service Academies after receiving a nomination from him last year.

As a Member of Congress, Jackson can nominate students from TX-13 for appointments to the United States Air Force, Naval, Military (West Point), and Merchant Marine Academies. Jackson can also nominate students from the entire State of Texas to the Merchant Marine Academy.

Jackson said: “Congratulations to these six students who have chosen to take the road less traveled in service to our great country. They’ve made their families, communities, and our whole country proud by dedicating themselves to a cause so much bigger than themselves. I know we all wish nothing but the best for their bright futures at their respective service academies and beyond!”
