City of Danville issued the following announcement on Jan. 23.
We are pleased to share these photos from Congressman John Shimkus. The photo on the top is of service academy cadets and second from the left is Jarod Noel of Danville. The photo on the bottom has the nominees for the academy and third from the left is Walter Jackson of Danville.
"Receiving a congressional nomination is important, but that alone doesn't guarantee admission to any of the service academies. The academies themselves make the final determination as to whether a nominee receives an appointment to attend that academy. They'll look at the prospective-cadet's academics, leadership, and physical fitness to make sure he or she is well-rounded and able to cope with the unique experience of attending a military school."
"If you or someone you know in the 15th District is a high school junior, college student, or current member of the military who is interested in attending an academy beginning in 2019, information you'll need can be found on my website at shimkus.house.gov/services/academy"
Congratulations ladies and gentlemen! Way to make your communities proud.
