U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senators Steve Daines and Jon Tester today congratulated Seeley high school student Samuel Weisenburger on his appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

Samuel is a Shooting National Junior Olympian. In addition to being a member of the Clearwater Resource Council and the National Honor Society, he is a Leo Club leader and holds a Private Pilot License. He is active in Civil Air Patrol and attends Seeley-Swan High School.  

“Samuel has a strong record of leadership and is an exceptional young Montanan,” Daines said. “Congratulations to Samuel for being accepted into West Point. I am grateful for Samuel’s eagerness to serve his country and I know he will continue to make Montana proud as an officer in the United States Army.”

“Samuel is an exceptional young man, who has proven himself to be among Montana’s best and brightest,” Tester said. “I congratulate him on his acceptance to West Point, and wish him the best of luck on the road ahead. I have no doubt that he will serve our state and country proudly.”
