Last fall, it was my privilege to nominate Sean and to recognize his strong desire to serve our nation. Through his exemplary preparation, Sean has demonstrated a dedication to grow, lead, and serve,” said Congressman Joyce. “The service academy appointment process is highly selective and competitive. I am thrilled that Sean has received an appointment to the U.S Naval Academy, and I commend him and his family on this great achievement.”
