Rep. Dicks Nominates 19 Students from Area Schools to Military Academies

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Nineteen students from high schools in the 6th Congressional District have been nominated by Congressman Norm Dicks to the nation’s military academies for the upcoming year.

“It’s an honor each year to recommend highly-qualified students who are determined to serve our country through the armed forces, and this year’s nominees represent an exceptional group of individuals with top academic credentials and superior motivation,” Rep. Dicks said.
