“As families and high school students begin to make post-graduation plans, it is important for them to have accurate information and the ability to ask questions as they weigh different opportunities,” said Congresswoman Tsongas. “Each year I have the privilege of nominating a select group of young men and women from the Third Congressional District to our nation’s service academies. This annual event provides high school students and their families with information about that process and other opportunities to serve their community and country through military service.”
