Marietta, Georgia — Last night, Rep. Lucy McBath (GA-06) hosted a virtual banquet to celebrate Sixth District students who accepted an appointment to a United States military service academy. Many of these students were nominated to their respective service academies by McBath’s office in December of 2020. In total, 23 students from the Sixth District, the highest total since McBath began serving in 2019, will attend one of the following four academies: 9 students will attend the United States Military Academy at West Point, 10 students will attend the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, 3 students will attend the United States Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, and 1 student will attend the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point. 

“At a young age, these appointees have made a bold commitment to serving our nation,” McBath said. “Our district is well-represented by these men and women who will go on to become leaders in our armed forces. I am so proud of each of them for earning an appointment to attend our nation’s military service academies and for serving America in this way. I am also grateful to each student and their families for allowing me the opportunity to wish them well as they embark on this new chapter in their lives.”
