Several students from the Black Belt were among 21 to be appointed to the United States Air Force Academy, Military Academy, Merchant Marine Academy, and Naval Academy by Senator Tommy Tuberville.
A press release from Tuberville stated that this is the fourth round of appointments by him.
“America’s national security depends on brave young men and women who answer the call to serve in our armed forces,” he said. “I couldn’t be more proud that Alabama will be well-represented in our military service academies for the Class of 2029."
"Receiving an appointment to one of these academies requires hard work, discipline, and determination, and I’m confident these students will carry these values with them to our service academies. It was an honor to nominate these Alabamians for an appointment, and I have no doubt that they’ll continue to make our state and country proud.”
