For the first time in its 83-year history, three seniors from the same graduating class of Gloucester Catholic High School, located in Gloucester City, New Jersey, have been admitted to the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Brandon Wethman, Nick Marks, and Devin McCall were nominated earlier this school year by their local congressmen and were recently notified of their appointments.
Wethman, whose grandfathers served in World War II, and an uncle in the Korean Conflict, said he plans to major in defense and strategic studies and military history. "Defense and strategic studies is unique to West Point and has a lot to do with international relations," he says.
