U.S. Congressman Hal Rogers (KY-05) commends local military academy appointees from the Fifth Congressional District. Three young men from southern Kentucky with extraordinary academic and extracurricular achievements met the high standards required of military academies and received nominations from Congressman Rogers to be a part of the 2016 graduating classes.
"If I could change one thing about my life, it would be that I had attended a military academy. There is no greater honor or preparation for life than our academies,” said Rogers. “I am so proud of these young men who are invigorated to be challenged physically and mentally by the best of the best. They received these appointments by their own high merits and it was a privilege to nominate each one and support their endeavors.”
William Jones will be attending the Naval Academy. William is from Corbin and graduated from Corbin High School. William has spent the past year at the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) in Rhode Island in preparation for the Naval Academy.
Benjamin Rice will be attending the Naval Academy. Benjamin is from Somerset and graduated from high school at Kentucky’s prestigious Gatton Academy of Math and Science in Bowling Green.
Aaron Stolze will be attending the Air Force Academy. Aaron is also from Somerset and graduated from high school at Kentucky’s prestigious Gatton Academy of Math and Science in Bowling Green. His parents are both veterans of the U.S. Air Force.
