Kustoff Recognizes Mustang Team with Flag Presentation

HUNTINGDON — Congressman David Kustoff (R-TN-08) recently paid a visit to Paul Ward Stadium, presenting Huntingdon High School Head Football Coach Eric Swenson and his staff with a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol in honor of the Mustangs' 2A state championship win. The Huntingdon visit was one of many stops Kustoff made across Tennessee's Eighth Congressional District during the week of July 6–10.

In recognition of America's 250th birthday, Congressman Kustoff made 20 stops across the district to present flags to West Tennesseans whose service and hard work he said have helped shape America's story.

“America’s 250th birthday is an opportunity to honor the people who keep our country moving forward,” said Congressman Kustoff. “Here in West Tennessee, that spirit is alive in the men and women who serve their neighbors and strengthen our communities. It was an honor to recognize West Tennessee’s finest and present them with flags flown over the U.S. Capitol.”

Congressman Kustoff's tour included stops with local businesses, farms, first responders, educators, law enforcement and community organizations across TN-08, including Carroll County's new E911 complex. 

Tennessee's Eighth Congressional District includes Carroll, Chester, Crockett, Dyer, Fayette, Gibson, Hardeman, Hardin, Haywood, Henderson, Henry, Lake, Lauderdale, Madison, McNairy, Obion and Weakley counties and parts of Benton, Shelby and Tipton counties
