President Donald Trump (R) has announced a new Board of Visitors for West Point, the nation’s oldest military academy. In a post on Truth Social, Trump revealed the appointees, which include retired military leaders and elected officials like Texas Rep. Wesley Hunt (R).

“I am pleased to announce a new Board of Visitors for our Nation’s oldest Military Academy, West Point,” the president announced on social media. “Major General David Bellavia, Lieutenant General Dan Walrath, General Michael Flynn, Congressman Wesley Hunt, Maureen Bannon, and Meghan Mobbs are hereby appointed to the Board. They will make our Country proud. Congratulations to all!”

Among the appointees is Rep. Hunt, a West Point graduate and former Apache helicopter pilot. The Texas lawmaker expressed gratitude for the appointment in a social media post, emphasizing his personal connection to the institution and its role in shaping military leaders.
