Academy representa- tives will be on hand to answer questions, visit one-on-one with Fourth Congressional District students. “Northeast Florida stu- dents have been some of the best and the bright- est. I strongly encourage interested students to attend Military Service Academy Day where they and their parents can learn more about our nation’s military ser- vice and perhaps open a door to attending one of the nation’s finest educa- tional institutions,” said Crenshaw. “On Saturday, there will be a one hour presentation followed by one-on-one sessions with academy officials about academic programming and the process involved with being accepted to the schools. Our service academies are vital in preparing today’s youth to assume the responsi- bility and skills required to become our future military leaders, and I’m always proud to help show them the way to attend.” THE MIRROR, NS MAYPORT, Thursday, May 10, 2012 9 10 THE MIRROR, NS MAYPORT, Thursday, May 10, 2012
