“I am deeply honored to be appointed by President Trump to the Board of Visitors at West Point.

As a graduate and former Apache pilot, West Point shaped my life, values, and commitment to service.

This institution forges the next generation of military leaders, and serving in an advisory role is both a privilege and a responsibility. I look forward to working with my fellow board members to uphold West Point’s legacy of excellence.

This appointment is a continuation of my lifelong commitment to the ideals of Duty, Honor, Country.

THANK YOU for this honor Mr. President.”
