Students interested in attending the nation’s service academies, college ROTC programs, or joining the military are encouraged to attend Academy Day next month.
U.S. Rep. Dale W. Strong will be hosting Academy Day for area students who want to learn more about attending one of the United States service academies after high school.
“The fact that so many student leaders willingly offer themselves to serve our nation in uniform speaks volumes of the patriotism held by our district’s youth,” said Strong (R-Huntsville). “It is my honor to nominate young men and women to attend U.S. service academies and ensure students are aware of the many avenues to military service.”
