Press Release:
Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today announced that she has nominated 13 local high school students from the 24th Congressional District to the United States Service Academies.
Each year, Tenney has the distinct privilege of nominating a limited number of people to four of the five service academies. These students were recommended to Tenney for nomination by a local committee made up of community leaders and veterans from across New York’s 24th Congressional District. The honor of attending a service academy comes with an obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation.
“As a mom of a US Naval Academy graduate, I am honored to nominate these outstanding individuals to attend our Nation’s Military Service Academies,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “One of my greatest privileges as a member of Congress is to nominate our next generation of leaders to these prestigious institutions, and each year, I am inspired by the exceptional applications submitted to our office and by their commitment to our country. Congratulations to all the nominees, and I wish you nothing but success in your future as you aim to serve our country!”
