Congressional delegation plans event for high schoolers interested in service academies

Members of Louisiana's Congressional delegation will hold an event Saturday in Baton Rouge for high schoolers interested in attending the nation's Military, Naval, Air Force, Coast Guard or Merchant Marine academies.

Entrance into one of the nation's service academies requires a Congressional or service-connected nomination.

Saturday's event, scheduled for 8:30 a.m. at the Capitol Park Museum, is meant to provide more information on the nomination process and other requirements.

Staff members from the offices of Sens. Bill Cassidy and John Kennedy, and U.S. Reps. Ralph Abraham, Garret Graves, Clay Higgins and Cedric Richmond are expected to attend, as are representatives from the academies.
