WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Ander Crenshaw today (12/10) announced nominations for 41 students in the Fourth Congressional District to compete for appointments to United States service academies.
“Our service academies are vital in preparing today’s youth to assume the responsibility and leadership required to become our future military leaders,” said Congressman Crenshaw. “These young individuals are more than up to the challenge. These students represent North East Florida’s best and brightest, and I am proud to nominate them to attend some of our nation’s finest educational institutions.”
Members of Congressman Crenshaw’s Military Academy Selection Committee, which is made up of individuals who have graduated from the academies and/or have military service, interviewed these students and selected the nominees.
