“The U.S. Service Academies have a long tradition of developing our nation’s next generation of military leaders. They provide young adults with an exceptional education and the training needed to be commissioned as officers in our armed forces. I encourage interested students to consider the U.S. Service Academies as an avenue to military service. I look forward to nominating exceptional candidates for appointment to the Service Academies.”
