U.S. Senator Tim Sheehy visited Three Forks and Manhattan, Montana, to hold town halls and provide information sessions for students interested in leadership, service, and attending a United States Service Academy.
Senator Sheehy spoke about his own experience at the Naval Academy and encouraged young Montanans to consider military service. “My wife and I met at the Naval Academy. We were proud to serve our country, and we both know how rewarding it is to live a life of service after attending a service academy. That’s why I’m encouraging the next generation of Montanans to serve and educating kids on all the possibilities they have by attending a service academy or joining the military. There’s no higher calling in life than serving your country, and it is my honor to help young Montanans reach their full potential and nominate the next generation of warfighters for appointment to the U.S. Service Academies,” said Senator Sheehy.
