NORTH JERSEY — U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) announced that 28 Fifth District high school students he nominated to one of the four U.S. service academies have been accepted — including to the U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
Gottheimer selected the students through the counsel of his Service Academy Selection Committee comprised of local leaders, reserve service members, and veterans from different branches of the armed forces. In December, the Committee interviewed the students to help Gottheimer select the best, brightest, and most well-rounded group of students to be nominated.
“One of my favorite parts of my job is nominating Fifth District students who demonstrate such a strong dedication to serving our country at such a young age,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “Congratulations to the accepted Fifth District Service Academy students! Each one of these students has displayed excellence in academics, athletics, and in their communities, and I am so impressed and so proud of what they’ve accomplished and what they will accomplish. Their dedication to service is admirable and I will continue to do whatever I can in Congress to support those who serve and have served our country.”
