Brindisi: These hardworking young men & women should be honored by these nominations
Congressman Anthony Brindisi recently announced military service academy nominations for 14 area students. Brindisi, a member of the House Armed Services Committee and the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, convened an independent committee of local veterans, educators and community leaders to select applicants for Congressional nominations to the United States military service academies.
Brindisi serves on the United States Military Academy Board of Visitors.
Based on Brindisi’s nominations, the committee selected 14 students from New York’s 22nd District to be reviewed for potential appointments by these prestigious service academies.
“These students are strong leaders in their communities and an example of patriotism and dedication for all of us,” Brindisi said. “They have demonstrated academic excellence and a dedication to their community and country that will serve them well if they are offered an appointment and serve as an officer in our military. I wish them and their families the best and have no doubt they will serve our district and country honorably.”
