U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-Moosic, this week announced his nomination of 17 Northeastern Pennsylvania students as candidates to the United States Service Academies — four of the nominees reside in Luzerne County.

The U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy and the U.S. Merchant Marines Academy require a congressional nomination to be considered for admission.

“These students are among Northeastern Pennsylvania’s best and brightest. Talented, driven and intelligent, they also possess a strong desire to serve their country,” said Rep. Cartwright. “These young people are the next generation of American leaders, and they give me every reason to believe that our future is in very good hands.”
