Chicago, IL. ---- Congressman Bobby L. Rush announced today that he will host a reception to formally announce his military academy nominees on Monday, February 27, 2006 at his South Suburban District Office, 3235 W. 147th Street, Midlothian, IL at 6:00 p.m.
A congressional nomination and appointment to a military academy is one of our nation’s highest honors for young people between the ages of 17-23. Every year, Congressman Rush nominates outstanding students from the First Congressional District, and this year’s class includes:
Keith O’Brien, Oak Forest High School, Oak Forest, IL (Air Force Academy)
Alexis Turner, Steinmetz High School, Chicago, IL (West Point Military Academy)
Adam Lietz, Eisenhower High School, Blue Island, IL (Naval Academy)
“It is a great honor to nominate these young people for military academy appointments as they have demonstrated the core qualities needed to excel in school and beyond,” said Rush. “I wish them well as they prepare to become our nation’s future leaders.”
