Service Academy Nominations
It is one of the great privileges of my job to be able to recommend a select group of individuals for admission to the United States Service Academies each year. The military academies offer a unique and rewarding experience for young men and women. And North Missouri continues to produce some of the most outstanding candidates in the nation.
I am both honored and proud to nominate nine students this year to serve their country:
· United States Military Academy at West Point, New York: David Jeong and Stephen Komar, both of Park Hill South High School in Riverside, and Will Ryan of Park Hill High School in Kansas City;
· United States Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado: Grant Mitton of Kearney High School, and Tom Prinslow of Parkville (Park Hill South High School);
· United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland: Andrew Maus of Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, David Mershon of Lee's Summit North High School, and Nicolas Russell of Central High School in St. Joseph; and
· United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York: Brennan Rialti of Lee's Summit High School.
While I have nominated these outstanding students, their application process is not over. They still must compete with students nominated from across the country.
I am always humbled and proud to suggest local students for these prestigious appointments. I hope you'll join me in congratulating this stellar group of candidates, and wishing them the best of luck.
Sincerely,
