| http://upton.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398396 | Upton announces Vicksburg appointment to U.S. Naval Academy | 2014-12-15 | 2014 | 2014-12 | Republican | House | MI | Fred Upton | U000031 | upton.house.gov | legacy | Congressman Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph, announced today that Gabrielle Perrin, of Vicksburg, Mich., has been accepted to attend the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. Upton recommended Gabrielle for selection to the prestigious service academy last week and has personally congratulated her on the appointment. Gabrielle is a senior at Vicksburg High School and also attends the Kalamazoo Area Math and Science Center. “It is my great pleasure to announce Gabrielle’s appointment to the Naval Academy. This is the earliest appointment received by one of our local students in recent memory,” Upton said. “I spoke to Gabrielle last week and she was very excited with the appointment and opportunity to serve her country. It takes years of putting in the hard work to come this far. Gabrielle has excelled in the classroom and on the cross-country course, setting a good example for her peers. I have no doubt that great things are in store for this fine young woman. “I encourage all local students who are interested in military service to contact my office.” Upton nominates students to military service academies from Michigan’s Sixth District who have excelled in school and are interviewed by members of his Academy Advisory Board, which is made up of community leaders. The individual academies make the final decision on military appointments. Upton nominated Gabrielle and 16 other Southwest Michigan students to the United States service academies last week. Students interested in attending a service academy are encouraged to contact Upton’s St. Joseph/Benton Harbor District Office for further information at (269) 982-1986. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
