The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), in partnership with the United States Africa Command (USAFRICOM), hosted a congratulatory ceremony in Nairobi to honour two Kenyan cadets selected to join prestigious United States military academies.
The ceremony celebrated Cadet Moses Kipsang, who will be joining the United States Air Force Academy, and Cadet Philemon Munjuri, who has been accepted into the United States Naval Academy.
Speaking at the event, General Michael Langley, Commander USAFRICOM, expressed his pride and enthusiasm in welcoming the cadets. He extended his best wishes for their training and stay in the United States.
Brigadier Peter Kimondiu, Deputy Commandant of the Kenya Military Academy, lauded the achievement, saying, “It is a great honour to celebrate the selection of these cadets to train at two of the most prestigious US military institutions. Your discipline and hard work have brought you this far, ” concluded Brig Kimondiu.
He emphasised that greater challenges lie ahead, but so do greater opportunities, and encouraged the cadets to apply themselves fully and represent Kenya with pride. He noted that their achievement reflects both their personal accomplishments and the enduring strength of the partnership between Kenya and the United States.
The Kenya Defence Forces and the US military continue to deepen their cooperation through leadership development, joint training and cadet exchange programmes, strengthening defence ties and investing in the next generation of military leaders.
