Henrico County resident Jack James, a graduate of Woodberry Forest School, will be graduating from the Naval Academy this month and will enter the Harvard Kennedy School as an explosive ordnance disposal officer in the U.S. Navy.

James was U.S. Congressman Eric Cantor’s principal nominee to the Naval Academy for the class of 2012.

“I want to congratulate Jack and all the young men and women graduating from the United States Service Academies,” Cantor said. “These young leaders are inspiring role models and we are grateful for their commitment to serving our country.”
