 “I am honored to nominate a group of outstanding
individuals from the entirety of the 18th District to be considered
to attend our great service academies,” stated Rep. LaHood.
“Reaching this part of the process alone is something to be proud
of. After learning about their accomplishments and speaking with
each individual, I see a group of current leaders that will continue
to display core Illinois values while giving back to our country. I
am eager to see them serve with pride and be a representative of
their hometown and our state. Having these courageous young men and
women in our district is humbling, and I pray this next chapter
brings success and safety to them.”
Every academy nominee must pass an evaluation that is done by
veterans and central and west-central Illinois leaders. Applicants
must display the proper character traits, grade point average,
extra-curricular activities, academic achievements, and more to be
selected. The final nominees will be chosen and notified of their
admission in the coming four months.
