Their decision to serve our country in uniform is admirable, and it is my honor to nominate these outstanding individuals.\u201d\r\nWhen asked about what his nomination meant to him, Archbishop Hoban High School student Conner Maloy said, \u201cA service academy nomination is a privilege and inspiring opportunity for me to serve the country that I love, while fulfilling my full potential.\u201d\r\nHannah Werren of GlenOak High School expressed similar sentiments and said, \u201cA nomination would allow me to have the opportunity to put others before myself.\u00a0 It would fulfill daily goals of helping others by sacrificing my needs while fulfilling a lifetime goal of service and being the best possible version of myself.\u201d\r\nThere are five U.S. service academies: The Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado; the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York; the Military Academy in West Point, New York; the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland; and the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut.
