“Each of these students has a stellar resume of accomplishments, participated in a variety of extracurricular activities and sports, and demonstrated academic excellence, which make them outstanding nominees for this great honor,” Schiff said.
“This group of students has a commitment to serving our country, and I am proud to have nominated them for our U.S. service academies,” he added.
