Rep. Denham nominated 19 students from cities across the district, including Modesto, Newman, Waterford, Turlock, Tracy, Manteca and Ripon to four of the nation\u2019s five prestigious military academies. The nominees are seeking admission to the United States Military Academy in West Point, N.Y., the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. and the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y.\u00a0\n\u201cThese exceptional young people exhibit great character and dedication to serving our country,\u201d said Rep. Denham. \u201cIt is an honor to have the privilege of nominating them to our esteemed military academies. Their desire to join our military forces is inspiring, and I commend each of them for their hard work to reach this point in the process.\u201d\nEach student seeking to attend one of these four military academies must be nominated by a U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator or the Vice President. The U.S. Coast Guard Academy does not require a nomination to attend. Nominees are selected through a rigorous application and interview process and are chosen based on factors such as academic achievement, leadership ability, physical aptitude, participation in extra-curricular activities and demonstration of character.\nAcademy students commit to serving in the military for a minimum of five years active duty upon graduation. If accepted to attend, students will receive notice from the individual service academies in April 2014.\nFor more information about the military academy nomination process, please visit http://denham.house.gov/serving-you/military-academy-nominations.\nThe full list of this year\u2019s nominees is below.\nKyle Azlin \u2013 U.S. Military Academy\n\tShane Bell \u2013 U.S. Merchant Marine Academy\n\tDaniel Cota \u2013 U.S. Naval Academy\n\tMichael Gallagher \u2013 U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy\n\tPaul Grimaldo \u2013 U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy\n\tJoseph Johnson \u2013 U.S. Air Force Academy\n\tMaria Martinez \u2013 U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy\n\tJohn Moody \u2013 U.S. Air Force Academy\n\tMarco Neves \u2013 U.S. Air Force Academy\n\tOnix Paredes \u2013 U.S. Naval Academy\n\tAustin Rice \u2013 U.S. Naval Academy\n\tKeegan Rivera \u2013 U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy\n\tAlex Rodin \u2013 U.S. Air Force Academy\n\tCaleb Rogers \u2013 U.S. Naval Academy\n\tBenjamin Smith \u2013 U.S. Air Force Academy\n\tJoshua Tam \u2013 U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Military Academy\n\tJonas Trevethan \u2013 U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy\n\tMichala Wyrsch \u2013 U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Naval Academy\n\tLennart Zielke \u2013 U.S. Naval Academy", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20140221165242/http://denham.house.gov/press-release/denham-announces-2013-military-service-academy-nominees"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.3878600914031267, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
