Clarksville, TN – Today, Tuesday, August 25th, 2020, U.S. Representative Mark Green announced his annual Service Academy Day will take place virtually on Saturday, August 29th from 1:00pm-3:00pm CT.
“As a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, I understand firsthand the honor and responsibility of attending a Service Academy,” Representative Green said. “Nominating students from Tennessee’s 7th District is one of the greatest privileges of serving in Congress. I look forward to speaking with students who are interested to learn at one of the Academies and serve their country in this important way.”
The honor of attending a Service Academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation.
Representatives from all five Service Academies (West Point, Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, Merchant Marine Academy, Coast Guard Academy) have confirmed their attendance for Saturday’s event.
In addition, representatives from the Army, Navy, and Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) will be present.
Register here to participate in the Virtual Service Academy Day this Saturday through Zoom.
