Rogers nominated a total of 11 individuals from the four counties he represents: Clinton, Ingham, Livingston and Oakland.
‘Military academies set high standards for admission, and these students were selected for nomination based on character, leadership potential and academics,? said Rogers, who is a U.S. Army veteran. ‘These young men and woman are willing to reach out for an education and career of service to their nation. They are a credit to their schools, communities and families.
