The Journal: Riley Moore Hosts Info Session on Academies at Jefferson High School

SHENANDOAH JUNCTION – Several Jefferson High School graduates returned to their alma mater on Saturday to help inform interested students about their experiences applying for and attending various military service academies, such as West Point.

The event was put on by Rep. Riley Moore, who has already written several letters of recommendation for students looking to attend military academies. He says it’s one of the best parts of his job.

“This is one of my favorite things that I do as a member of Congress,” Moore said. “I've had the opportunity to actually tell a couple young people that they've been accepted to West Point, the Naval Academy or the Air Force Academy, which is really a life changing event for them.”
