Washington, DC– Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) today announced that Coleman Truett of Owensboro received an appointment to two of our nation’s service academies.

“Having attended West Point, I take great pride in the academy nomination and appointment process,” said Congressman Guthrie.  “I am always encouraged by the high number of applications my office receives for a nomination.”

Each year Congressman Guthrie, with guidance from his Academy Board, nominates a limited number of people to our nation’s service academies – the Army, Navy, Air Force and Merchant Marine academies.  Once nominations have been made, each service academy determines who will receive an appointment.  The service academies announce appointments on a rolling basis.  All appointments should be announced by May.

“Coleman previously received an appointment to the Naval Academy and recently received an additional appointment to West Point.  I know he will do great at whichever academy he chooses to attend,” added Congressman Guthrie.

Details about Coleman’s appointment are listed below.  Over the course of the next few months, Congressman Guthrie will announce any additional appointments (for students who received a nomination from him).

Coleman E. Truett of Owensboro
Appointed to: Military Academy (West Point) – Also received an appointment to the Naval Academy in January
