High school senior Noble Rasmussen intends to serve his country well — and all five U.S. military academies seem to agree.
The Nebraska teen joined “Fox & Friends” on Friday to celebrate his acceptance to all five academies.

Rasmussen, a cadet with the Civil Air Patrol, said that his interest in applying to each school was sparked from a desire to represent and serve the United States as a whole.

“I feel like it’s my duty to serve my country.”
