Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (D-MD) announced the names of 15 5th District students appointed to the US service academies.

The students, nominated by Rep. Hoyer, have accepted offers to the Air Force Academy, the US Naval Academy, the Merchant Marine Academy, and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. All of these appointments require a nomination from an authorized nominating source.

“Appointing talented young people from the Fifth District to our service academies is one of my favorite responsibilities as a member of Congress,” Rep. Hoyer said. “These students have made their families proud by reaching this milestone, and I know they will continue to make them proud over the next few years. Each of them are about to embark on a journey characterized by hard work, physical conditioning, quality academics, and the unique perspective of following in the footsteps of some of America’s greatest leaders. I congratulate and thank them for making this commitment to our country and making all of us incredibly proud.”
