Washington, D.C. – Congressman Ken Buck announced today the names of the Fourth Congressional District students who received military academy nominations from his office and have accepted their offers of appointment. The selected students exhibit the character, leadership skills, and academic aptitude required of future officers in the U.S. Armed Forces. To earn admission to a military academy, students must receive a nomination from their Member of Congress, their Senator, or the Vice President, and must pass the academy’s own admissions process. Appointees receive a world-class education for free at their respective academy in return for a 5-year service commitment.

“Students like these make me more hopeful about our future,” Congressman Ken Buck stated. “They’ve committed their lives to serving our nation through thick and thin. I commend them and wish them the best as they begin their journey in the U.S. Armed Forces.”
