Tulsa, OK (KFOR) – Congressman Kevin Hern (OK-01) released a statement following the announcement of the 2023 nominees to the United States service academies.

“One of my favorite duties as a member of Congress is to nominate students to our nation’s incredible service academies,” said Rep. Hern. “Some of the best and brightest students from all across our district came with their family, friends, and teachers to be recognized for their hard work, and receive their nominations.  I am proud of these young men and women who have hearts of service for their country, and I am thankful for the loved ones who supported them through this rigorous process.  Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction, and our military needs individuals like these extraordinary young people who are dedicated to service and prepared to lead”.
