Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) yesterday congratulated his United States Service Academy nominees for the class of 2015 and their families yesterday at a reception in West Chester, Ohio. A list of the 24 nominees is included below.
“These are the best and brightest kids in our district,” Boehner said. “They are going off to be educated and gain skills to help keep America free.”
Each year Boehner nominates select students for appointments to the U.S. Air Force, Merchant Marine, Military (West Point), and Naval Academies. An independent review board made up of local community leaders and veterans interviews each applicant and makes its recommendations to Boehner based on the academic achievement, athletic accomplishments, community involvement, commitment to service, and strength of character of each applicant.
A congressional nomination does not guarantee an appointment. Appointments are made solely by the respective academy.
Boehner represents Ohio’s 8th District, which includes all of Darke, Miami, and Preble counties, most of Butler and Mercer counties, and the northeastern corner of Montgomery County. He was first elected to Congress in 1990.
