Charleston, Dec 22, 2005 -

U.S. Representative Henry E. Brown, Jr. (R-SC), today announced his nominations to the United States Service Academies.

“The service academies offer an excellent opportunity for young men and women willing to rise to the challenges and rigors of a military education,” Brown said. “I consider the quality of education and instruction available at these institutions to be among the best anywhere in the world.”

Final decision on appointments will be made by the respective academies. “Those chosen for admission that complete the program will be well-prepared to serve our country in leadership roles,” Brown noted.
