Calling it one of his “greatest honors as a member of Congress,” U.S. Rep. Dale Strong announced the appointments of 22 students from Alabama’s Fifth Congressional District to attend U.S. service academies. It is one of the top class of appointments in the country, too, Strong said. The Fifth District tied fourth nationally for the total number of accepted West Point candidates from a single congressional district and second in the Southeast region.
