Hoyer Announces Appointments to the United States Service Academies
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-5) today announced the names of 12 Fifth District Students appointed to the United States Service Academies. The students, nominated by Rep. Hoyer, have accepted offers to the Air Force Academy, the Merchant Marine Academy, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and the Naval Academy, which all require a nomination from an authorized nominating source. Rep. Hoyer hosted an Academy Tea Reception in their honor today at the Library of Congress in Washington, where five of the 12 students attended. The Air Force Academy appointees departed yesterday to the Academy in Colorado.
"One of the greatest privileges I have as a Member of Congress is to nominate talented young people from the Fifth Congressional District to our service academies each year," said Congressman Steny Hoyer. "The students who have accepted appointments have an exciting journey ahead of them, and I have no doubt that their time at the academies will prepare them to do great things in the future. I am confident that they will represent the Fifth District and the state of Maryland with honor and distinction for years to come."
