5th District students appointed to service academies
U.S. Rep. Steny H. Hoyer announced the names of 12 5th District students appointed to the U.S. service academies.
The students, nominated by 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.
Hoyer hosted a reception in their honor at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., where five of the 12 students attended.
“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,” Hoyer said in a news release. “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.”
