The 30 students from Westchester and Rockland Counties she nominated this past December for admission to our nation’s service academies received honors at the event. The group included Lawrence Patrizio of Scarsdale, a student at , who was nominated to the United States Military Academy, West Point.

Lowey nominated the teens for admission to the U.S. Military Academy (West Point), U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, or U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. As of today, eight students have been accepted for admission this summer.

Congresswoman Lowey also paid tribute to Joseph P. Murphy of Rye, a retired Naval officer, who for 22 years served as the chairman of her all-volunteer, non-partisan Service Academy Review Board.

Lowey thanked local veterans attending the ceremony for their service to our country, and informed them of her work to promote hiring unemployed veterans and to expand veterans’ access to quality healthcare.
