Each year, students interested in attending the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy or the U.S. Military Academy at West Point apply for a nomination through members of Congress. Members nominate top candidates from their state, ensuring that the best and the brightest are considered for admission. In 2002, then-Sen. Joe Biden, Sen. Carper and then-Rep. Mike Castle hosted the first Delaware Service Academy Reception in the Capitol.
