One of my highest honors in Congress is to nominate students who want to serve their country to the United States military academies, Stivers said. We had an impressive group of candidates this year, and I am confident that each one of these nominees would serve our country well and make Ohio's 15th District proud. Stivers nominated the following students: William Ciesinski was nominated to West Point. Ciesinski graduated from Bishop Watterson High School, and currently attends Marquette University. He is the son of David and Patricia Ciesinski. Jacob Hamilton was nominated to the Naval Academy, West Point, and the Air Force Academy. Hamilton graduated from Grove City High School, and currently attends Hillsdale College. He is the son of R. Kelly and Traci Hamilton. Jason June was nominated to the Air Force Academy and the Naval Academy. He attends Grove City High School and is the son of James and Kimberly June. Emma Wood was nominated to the Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, and West Point. She attends Hilliard Davidson High School and is the daughter of Timothy and Lisa Wood. Joseph Orlando was nominated to the Air Force Academy and West Point. He attends Upper Arlington High School and is the son of George Orlando and Jackie Lawless. Gavin Shafer was nominated to the Naval Academy, West Point, the Air Force Academy, and the Merchant Marine Academy. He attends Upper Arlington High School and is the son of Scott and Natalie Shafer. To receive a service academy nomination from Congressman Stivers, candidates must be unmarried residents of Ohio's 15th Congressional District, United States citizens and between the ages of 17 and 23. In pursuit of a nomination, students submitted an application and were interviewed by Congressman Stivers' Military Academy Review Board. The Board evaluates the students on the basis of academic performance, leadership ability, and community involvement. Congressman Stivers is exceedingly grateful to all of the nominees for their willingness to serve, and to the Military Academy Review Board for all their time in interviewing the students and making recommendations. He encourages qualified persons interested in pursuing a nomination to one of the United States Service Academies in the future to visit www.stivers.house.gov for more information, or contact his Lancaster Office at (740) 654-2654. -30- Congressman Stivers represents the 15th Congressional District.
