Moolenaar Nominates Michigan Students to Military Academies

Press Release

Congressman John Moolenaar announced the high school students he has nominated for admission to three of the nation's military academies.

"On behalf of the Fourth District, I am proud to nominate these talented students who want to continue their education and serve their country by attending a military academy," said Moolenaar. "Those who were nominated are exemplary leaders and excellent students who, if admitted, will follow in the footsteps of many leaders of our country.
