McCarthy Congratulates U.S. Service Academy Graduates
Each year, Members of Congress nominate local high school seniors -- who desire to go above and beyond to better our country -- to attend one of our U.S. Service Academies. Congressman Kevin McCarthy announced the graduation of eight cadets/midshipmen from the U.S. Service Academies:
“As these impressive academy graduates complete their college career, I am honored to say that they have made California's 23rd congressional district incredibly proud. Their selfless devotion to service and admirable love of country will help ensure their success as they take this next impressive step in their path of service."
