December 30, 2011 |
U.S. Senator James Risch recently announced his
nominations to the United States military
academies for the 2012 school year, including
Reid Boorman, Bonners Ferry, nominated to attend
the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New York.
The nominees' names now go to each of the four
U.S. military academies for final selection.
Others selected by Risch from North Idaho
include Joel "Parker" Heisey, Coeur d'Alene,
also nominated to West Point; Eric Whitman,
Priest River, and Rebecca Winzer, Coeur d'Alene,
both nominated for the U.S. Merchant Marine
Academy, Kings Point, New York; and Hallie
Bonnicksen, Kellogg, John "Gil" Givens, Post
Falls, and Kylie Johnson, Coeur d'Alene, all
nominated to attend the U.S. Naval Academy,
Annopolis, Maryland.
The nominations are a first step in the
selection process, allowing each nominee to
compete for an appointment.
"These nominees have met the high standards
required to attend our military academies and
demonstrated a level of committment to our
nation that is admirable," Risch said of each
nominee, selected from throughout the state.
"They are each truly deserving of this honor and
I commend them for their efforts."
Those interested in applying for future
nominations to a United States Military, which
also includes the U.S. Air Force Academy,
Colorado Springs, Colorado, can find details on
