Washington, D.C. - Congressman Wesley Hunt was appointed by President Donald J. Trump to the Board of Visitors for the United States Military Academy at West Point on March 17, 2025. 

Congressman Wesley Hunt released the following statement about his appointment:

"I am deeply honored and profoundly grateful to be appointed by President Trump to the Board of Visitors at the United States Military Academy at West Point.

As a graduate of this esteemed institution and a former Apache helicopter pilot who served in combat, West Point has played an integral role in shaping my life, my values, and my commitment to service.

The Academy stands as a pillar of excellence, duty, and leadership, forging the next generation of military officers who will defend our nation with honor.

To now have the opportunity to serve in an advisory capacity, ensuring that West Point continues its proud tradition of developing leaders of character, is both a privilege and a solemn responsibility.

I look forward to working alongside my fellow board members, military leaders, and the administration to support the Academy’s mission of producing officers who are ready to lead in an increasingly complex and dynamic world.

To my fellow graduates, current cadets, and all those who wear the uniform—this appointment is not just a duty, but a continuation of my lifelong commitment to the ideals that West Point instilled in me."
