Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) has issued the following statement on the students from Georgia’s 11th Congressional District who were accepted into our prestigious military service academies:

“Every year, we are proud to send some of our most talented students to our nation’s prestigious military service academies, and this year is no different. Nominating students from Georgia’s 11th Congressional District is a responsibility my office takes very seriously because being accepted to one of our academies is a very high achievement. America is in good hands with these young leaders, and I am confident they will represent our state and district well.”

Each year, students from across the nation compete for nominations by members of Congress to attend U.S. service academies. Appointees are awarded full four-year scholarships.
