Tuesday, November 24, 2009 — Congressman Larry Kissell (NC-08) is still accepting applications for Congressional Service Academy Nominations through Dec. 1, 2009.
Every year, members of Congress have the distinct honor of nominating exceptional graduating high school seniors to one of the five United States Service Academies – United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy, United States Air Force Academy, United States Merchant Marine Academy and the United States Coast Guard Academy.
“Service Academy nominations are something I take very seriously. These young men and women who receive acceptance to one of the U.S. Service Academies will not only serve as officers in our military branches, but will also be the future leaders of our communities and nation,” Kissell said. “Service Academy students are a special breed of young person with dedication, determination, sense of duty, a willingness to sacrifice for their country and excellent academic skills.”
To apply for a congressional nomination from Kissell’s office, contact the Concord District Office at 704-786-1612 or visit www.kissell.house.gov for instructions on how to complete the Service Academy Nomination packet.
