Congressman Stephen F. Lynch, D-Boston, recently announced the nomination of Megan Logan, of Scituate, for appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy.

Logan, the daughter of William and Kathleen Logan, is a student at Scituate High School. As part of his congressional duties, Lynch nominates candidates to the service academies each year.

“These candidates are the best of the best, and I am proud of their desire to serve our country,” said Lynch. “The academies graduate leaders who will guide our nation into the future and the men and women who attend the academies are entrusted with the greatest responsibility – to serve and protect the United States of America.”

Logan was also highly recommended by her teachers at Scituate High School.

“She is a remarkable young woman, and we are fortunate that young people like Megan are willing to serve our nation,” Lynch said.

Lynch and his congressional liaison to the U.S. Service Academies, Bob Fowkes, examined each candidate’s record of academic, athletic and service achievements, in addition to evaluating letters of recommendation. After an extensive review process and a personal interview, Logan was selected as someone whose scholastic record and community contributions elevated her to the top of a list of well-qualified candidates.

“There were many impressive candidates this year for the United States Naval Academy,” Lynch said. “Megan stood out as a young woman of keen intelligence and strong character. She is a wonderful reflection of her parents, William and Kathleen. The Logan family, the town of Scituate and the entire commonwealth of Massachusetts should be proud of Megan in this achievement.”

Students interested in attending one of the U.S. Service Academies should contact Fowkes in Lynch’s Boston office at 617-428-2000.
