WEST POINT – At a reception hosted by Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18), Rep. Maloney announced that 12 students from the Hudson Valley accepted offers of appointment to one of our nation’s four service academies. Rep. Maloney has the ability to nominate students to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point. To assist with the nomination process, Rep. Maloney established an esteemed committee of military and civic leaders from the Hudson Valley that interviewed potential nominees, reviewed their applications and made recommendations. The Academies make the final decision on who receives an appointment of admission.
“I am enormously proud of these young people from the Hudson Valley, and their offers of appointment to our nation’s service academies,” said Maloney, a member of the West Point Board of Visitors and the son of a navy veteran. “These courageous young men and women have chosen to serve our country – their dedication is inspiring – and I look forward to following their careers as they step into key leadership positions in our Armed services. Representing the staff and cadets of the United States Military Academy in Congress is a distinct honor and privilege, and I enjoy having the opportunity to participate in the nomination process.”
