U.S. House Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler has released the list of military academy nominations from Pennsylvania’s 14th congressional district, and that list includes one person from Indiana County.
Ava King of Graceton is part of a group of 15 individuals nominated to go to one of the four U.S. Service Academies. Currently attending IUP, she wishes to attend the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Nassau County, New York. In a statement, Reschenthaler said that those on the nomination list have “demonstrated character and commitment to serve our nation.”
Upon receiving this nomination, these constituents will look to meet the admission requirements of their service academy, which will make the final decision on admission in the early months of this year. Each student who attends a service academy will make a commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation.
