MT. HOLLY, New Jersey (WPVI) -- These recent high school graduates are heading to West Point, inspired to join the military by their respective fathers who served the country.

Sean Powell and David Wiser are childhood best friends preparing for their next chapter together.

"Seeing that most of my friends are going to far away places, it's really nice to know that my best friend for a long, long time will be at West Point with me," said Wiser of Lumberton, New Jersey.
