Congressman Stephen F. Lynch recently announced that he has nominated Denis Glinski for appointment to the United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy and the United States Air Force Academy. Denis, the son of Ed Glinski, M.D. and Denise Kenneally, is a senior at Boston College High School.

As part of his annual Congressional responsibilities, Congressman Lynch nominates exemplary candidates to the service academies.  “Since September 11, 2001, the quality of applicants has steadily improved every year, and this year was no exception.  These candidates are the best of the best, and I am proud of their desire to serve our country.”

“Denis was highly recommended by his teachers and coaches at Boston College High School.  He is a remarkable young man, and we are fortunate that young people like Denis are willing to serve our nation,” said Congressman Lynch.

Congressman Lynch and his Congressional Liaison for Military Affairs, Bob Fowkes, examined each candidate’s record of academic, athletic, and service achievements, as well as letters of recommendation.  After an extensive review process and a personal interview, Denis was selected as someone whose scholastic record and community contributions elevated him to the top of a list of well-qualified candidates.

Congressman Lynch said, “There were many impressive candidates this year for the service academies. Denis stood out as a young man of keen intelligence and strong character.  He is a wonderful reflection of his parents, Ed and Denise. The Glinski family, the town of Milton and the entire state should be proud of Denis in this achievement.”
