As Georgia’s Thirteenth Congressional District Representative, it is with great pleasure that each year I have the duty to nominate qualified candidates to the United States military academies.

To provide an opportunity for students interested in attending a military academy to become familiar with the application and nomination process and to expose them to academy life, this year I along with other members of the Georgia Congressional Delegation will participate in the second statewide academy event hosted by Senator Isakson.

The academy event is scheduled for Saturday, May 6, 2006 from 9:30 – 11:00 A.M. at Naval Air Station Atlanta.

Representatives from all five academies as well as cadets and midshipman will be in attendance and will be available to answer questions from students and parents.

• The event is open to students in grades 8 – 12.
• Photo ID for all attendees required for Atlanta Road admittance checkpoint.
• Reservations required due to security restrictions.
• Participants MUST register online by April 26, 2006 at 5 p.m. with Senator Isakson’s office.
