Washington, D.C. — Members of the Wisconsin congressional delegation will sponsor the annual Academy Day in Oshkosh, and they invite any young women and men, as well as teachers and parents, to attend in order to learn more about opportunities available at our nation’s distinguished service academies. 

Representatives from four of the nation’s service academies will be available from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20, at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Education Center in Oshkosh.  The academies include the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.; the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y., the United States Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.,  and the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md.  Representatives from the United States Coast Guard Academy will also attend to answer questions about their application process, which does not include a congressional nomination.
