Curtis student named as one of 23 military service academy nominees

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) today announced she has nominated Connor Russell of Curtis, along with 22 other students throughout Nebraska, to attend the nation's military service academies.

"I am proud of the talented group of students from across the state who applied for a nomination to one of our nation's military service academies this year," said Fischer. "It is a great honor to nominate this outstanding group of young men and women to become the next generation of military leaders. Nebraskans have a long history of military service, and these individuals represent our state well as they seek to carry on this tradition."

Every year, senators nominate a select group of eligible individuals from their states to attend our four U.S. Military Service Academies: the United States Air Force Academy, United States Merchant Marine Academy, United States Military Academy and United States Naval Academy.
