GRAND ISLAND – Constituents in the Third District of Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) are invited to attend this year’s Service Academy Open House, virtually.
Plan on joining Congressman Smith on Tuesday, June 20 at 2 p.m. as in order to ensure appropriate social distancing and limit the need for travel, the event will be held online.
This event is an opportunity for young people in Nebraska’s Third District to learn more about the U.S. service academies and other opportunities for military service. High school and college students interested in military opportunities, as well as their families, are encouraged to participate.

Also, Congressman Smith recently opened nominations for the 2020 Angels in Adoption Award for Nebraska’s Third District.
