U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-3) today announced that his nominee for the United States Military Academy at West Point, Kevin Bross of Hannibal, has accepted an appointment to the academy as part of the 2017 graduating class.

Bross, a Palmyra High School senior, was nominated by Luetkemeyer when the congressman previously served the people of the old 9^th Congressional District. Bross is the son of Mark and Stephanie Bross of Hannibal.

The United States Military Academy has been educating, training, and inspiring leaders of character for more than 200 years and provides a 47-month leader-development program steeped in academic rigor, military discipline, and physical challenges, all built upon a moral-ethical foundation. The academy is an internationally recognized institution for academic, military and physical excellence.
