During his fourth annual Salute to Service Academy Appointees event last week, U.S. Rep. John Carter, R-Round Rock, recognized nine Central Texas students who he sees fit for military service.
This year, Carter appointed nine students from Bell and Williamson counties: Cody Little, Temple; Ethan Rodriguez, Belton; Julian Lashbrook, Rogers; Tristen Burton, Granger; Aiden Beasley, Cedar Park; Landon Sanders, Cedar Park; Joshua Coya, Round Rock; Konnor Bye, Liberty Hill; and Brandon Del Rio, Leander.
âNominating students to a U.S. Service Academy is one of my greatest honors as a Congressman,â Carter said in a news release. âAfter seeing their hard work and dedication firsthand, I know that the future of our nation is in good hands. The path that these students have chosen will not be easy, but I have no doubt that they are up for the challenge. I am exceptionally proud of the appointees from Texasâ 31st district and cannot wait to see all that they accomplish.â
