Hirono nominates 3 to academies
U.S. Sen. Mazie K. Hirono announced her nomination of three Hawaii Island students to the U.S. military service academies for the class of 2021.
The students’ applications are being considered by the four academies for final selection.
“By applying to our nation’s service academies, these young men and women exemplify service above self,” Hirono said. “I am certain that each of these candidates will proudly represent the state of Hawaii as they continue the application process.”
Members of Congress nominate students to the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. The U.S. Coast Guard Academy does not require congressional nominations. Nomination does not guarantee appointment.
The nominees:
• Kegan Miura, Kamehameha Schools, and Lois Taylor, Kealakehe High School, U.S. Air Force Academy.
• Kegan Miura, Kamehameha Schools, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
