It is an honor to represent the United States and to serve this country by attending one of our nations prestigious military academies. Attending one of these fine institutions moves to instill the core values of honor, courage and commitment in all students. The rigorous physical and academic standards of the academies challenge even the most accomplished individuals to reach for a new level of success. In order to gain admission, the service academies require applicant to receive nominations from Members of Congress or other national leaders. As Senator, I have the honor and privilege to nominate young men and woman as Candidates to the U.S. Military Academies.
