“Here in the United States, we have the best trained, most sophisticated, and best equipped military in the history of the world,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “I am proud to see so many incredible men and women who are eager to pick up the mantle of world leadership in our country’s military by applying to our prestigious military academies. The spirit of duty and patriotism that called these Fifth District high school students to service is inspiring, and my office is here to help them throughout their application.”
