Amata Congratulates Daniel Lee on U.S. Military Academy Acceptance

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Uifa'atali Amata is delighted to announce that Daniel Lee has been accepted for admittance to the United States Military Academy (Army) at West Point.

"I'm so pleased to announce Daniel has been accepted at West Point," said Congresswoman Amata. "He now has a fully qualified appointment to the United States Military Academy. His achievement is a mark of excellence that is the result of hard work and dedication. I want to send out a special thank you and congratulations to each one of his family, teachers, Pacific Horizons School, and especially his proud parents."

A Service Academy acceptance requires maintaining high grades throughout the entirety of high school. The Service Academies require strong academics, high test scores, and additionally, those offered an appointment must also demonstrate extracurricular activities, volunteering or other roles which show leadership and motivation.

Congresswoman Amata nominated Daniel in January among a group of 12 students who sent in 15 total Service Academy applications from American Samoa. This is the second member of this year's class of nominees accepted to one of the nation's prestigious Service Academies, as Congresswoman Amata recently announced that Noralei Toussaint was accepted to the U.S. Air Force Academy.
