Washington, D.C. – Congressman Pete Visclosky will host his 2009 Military Academy Night on Wednesday, April 8 at 6:00 p.m. Military Academy Night is an annual open house Visclosky hosts so that local high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors can learn about educational opportunities at the U.S. service academies and gather information on the application process.
“The citizens of Northwest Indiana have a proud legacy of service to our country,” said Visclosky. “I host Military Academy Night each year so that our next generation has the opportunity to continue that tradition of defending America. I am exceedingly proud of the contributions that people in Northwest Indiana have made to our military and wholeheartedly support our veterans, our troops, and our future men and women in uniform.”
Military Academy Night is designed to help high school students who are interested in attending the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, the U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, and the U.S. Cost Guard Academy at New London. The event will feature remarks by Congressman Visclosky, a film about the five academies, and discussions about life at the academies, the nomination process, and what parents can expect. Members of the First Congressional District Service Academy Board, which reviews applicants, will be on hand to answer questions and offer advice to prospective students.
