Honoring high school service academy appointments from Kentucky’s Sixth District
U.S. Representative Andy Barr congratulated all High School Service Academy Appointments from the Sixth Congressional District of Kentucky in a ceremony at the Kentucky High School Athletics Association.
“In four short years, these students will join the ranks of the world’s greatest military officers,” said Congressman Barr. “I speak for all Sixth District residents when I say how grateful I am for each of these students stepping up to take on this challenge.” He hosted the senior salute to “congratulate and commend each student for their commitment to serve our country.”
