Houston, TX -- Congressman Gene Green (TX-29) is hosting his annual Service Academy Day for high school students from the 29th Congressional district on Saturday, September 23, 2006. In an effort to increase awareness of the opportunities provided by attending one of the four United States Service Academies, such as West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy or the Merchant Marine Academy. Students will have an opportunity to meet academy recruiters and discuss the admission process to a service academy.
“The opportunity to attend one of our world famous service academies is a dream for many young men and women,” said Green. “I want to make sure that anyone interested in attending one of these great institutions has all the information that they need. Academy Day also serves as an educational forum for students that were unaware of the opportunity and knowledge on how to apply to one of our service academies. I want everyone to have the same opportunity to enter one of these prestigious institutions. ”
“As a Member of Congress, I am able to nominate eligible young men and women to one of the four United States Service Academies,” added Green. “It is important that students begin their application process before their senior year in high school to take advantage of this great opportunity.”
