Thirteen students were introduced during the ceremony at Pace High School and they were each given a paper bag with an academy hat in it. Everyone waited and opened the bags together to find out which military academy they were being nominated to attend. From here, Congressman Gaetz will serve as their advocate as they navigate the rest of the selection process.
