Mikey Weinstein, the Air Force Academy graduate and former White House attorney leading efforts to end proselytizing in the military, has been nominated for a John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award.
Irene Proctor, a spokeswoman for Weinstein, said Wednesday that she did not know who nominated Weinstein for the award, but that “they have accepted the nomination.”
The Profile in Courage Award is administered by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation in Boston. A bipartisan committee appointed by the foundation reviews all nominations and selects the award recipients, according to the JFK library’s Web site.
The award is presented each May at Kennedy library and museum in Boston. The event coincides with Kennedy’s May 29 birth date, according to the site.
