U.S. Representative Randy Feenstra has announced an upcoming event designed to provide information to Iowa students interested in applying to the country's military academies. The 4th District Military Academy Day will take place in Fort Dodge on April 23. Students from 8th to 12th grade will have the opportunity to engage with representatives from the five academies: the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, the U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and the U.S. Air Force Academy.

Rep. Feenstra emphasized the value of the event in a statement, saying, “I encourage any student from 8th grade through 12th grade interested in attending one of our nation’s five military academies to stop by our 4th District Military Academy Day in Fort Dodge on Wednesday April 23rd. This is a unique opportunity to meet with representatives from all five academies, get questions answered, and learn more about the application process.” He added, “Our military is the strongest in the world because of the brave Americans who answer the call to serve. I know that this will be a helpful and informative forum for young Iowans who want to attend a military academy.”

The event is scheduled to be held at Iowa Central Community College in the Triton Café Boardroom from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at One Triton Circle, Fort Dodge, IA 50501. Interested individuals can reach Feenstra's office for additional details at 202-225-4426.
