Young men and women who wish to attend a U.S. service academy must obtain a nomination from an authorized nominating source, like a member of Congress.Of this year\u2019s nominees, Ryan said:\u201cMilitary service is an honorable calling. America\u2019s service academies have the highest standards of excellence, and I am proud to nominate these young students from Wisconsin\u2019s First District. I am more than confident that they will rise to the challenge. Should they be accepted, they will represent their state and their nation with pride. Selecting these nominees was a very tough job, and for that reason, I want to thank the members of my Service Academy Nomination Advisory Board for their advice and hard work.\u201dThe Service Academy Nomination Advisory (SANA) Board interviewed and evaluated applicants from the First District in December 2016. Consisting of veterans, academy graduates, and educators, the SANA Board was appointed by Ryan to assist him with identifying the most qualified applicants. First District applicants are typically in the top tier of their class, are active in their communities, and demonstrate great potential for leadership.A list of the students nominated by Congressman Ryan follows:Kenosha CountyAndrew Burrow \u2013 attends St. John\u2019s Northwestern Military Academy, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Military AcademyAlexandra DuChene \u2013 attends George Nelson Tremper High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Air Force AcademyThomas Hamm \u2013 attends St. Joseph Catholic Academy, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Military Academy and U.S. Naval AcademyTyler Mortensen \u2013 attends Indian Trail High School and Academy, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Military AcademyEvan Taber \u2013 graduated Harborside Academy, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Military AcademyMilwaukee CountyNathaniel Cramer \u2013 attends Oak Creek High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Military AcademyBrandon Kawczynski \u2013 attends Oak Creek High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Naval AcademyAmelia Litynski \u2013 attends Franklin High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Military AcademyRacine CountyMichael Fischer \u2013 attends Franklin High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Naval AcademyMichael Porter \u2013 attends The Prairie School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.Olivia Seymour \u2013 attends Shoreland Lutheran High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Air Force AcademyRock CountyDylan Brown \u2013 graduated Milton High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy and U.S. Merchant Marine AcademyLogan White \u2013 attends Joseph A.
