Mussig nominated by Sen. Ernst to service academy

Gladbrook-Reinbeck senior Henry Mussig of Gladbrook was nominated by U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) as one of several students the senator is nominating to U.S. Service Academies.

​“Thank you to our young Iowans who have answered the call to serve our country,” Ernst said. “As a combat veteran and mom to a West Point graduate and current active-duty servicemember, I know the commitment each of our nominees has for our state and country. It is my honor to nominate and support this future generation of leaders as they take this next step toward serving our nation.”

​Mussig was one of 10 nominated to the Military Academy at West Point by Sen. Ernst. Every year, Ernst nominates Iowa students to U.S. Service Academies, including the U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. The U.S. Coast Guard Academy does not require a congressional nomination for students to apply.
