Washington, DC– Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) today announced that Devonte Eugene Duncan of Brandenburg received an appointment to one of our nation’s service academies.

“It was a great honor for me to notify Devonte of his appointment,” said Congressman Guthrie. “Devonte will make an excellent cadet.”

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 the end of the month.

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

Congressman Guthrie will announce any additional appointments (for students who received a nomination from him) during the month of May.
