| Hare Nominates Students for Service Academies |
Congressman Phil Hare (D-IL) has announced that he has nominated 13 17th District students to the U.S. service academies.
"I am proud to nominate this outstanding group of young people to our nation's prestigious service academies," Hare said. "I commend their willingness to serve our country, especially during a time of war."
"Each student I nominated has a great work ethic and is well rounded," Hare added. "They get good grades, participate in extracurricular activities, and are active in their communities. If accepted to one of the service academies, they will have a tremendous opportunity to build upon their accomplishments and make an invaluable contribution to our nation."
Nominations are forwarded to the service academies where they evaluate each student's eligibility based on his or her academic and extra-curricular record, leadership skills, physical stamina and other requirements. Each year, only about 1,200 students from across the nation enter each academy.
