U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AFPN) --  Air Force Academy cadets will join fellow service academy cadets to sing the national anthem to kick off Super Bowl XXXIX.

The 25-voice Cadet Chorale will join with cadets from the U.S. Naval Academy Glee Club, West Point Choir and U.S. Coast Guard Academy Choir to perform in Jacksonville, Fla., on Feb. 6.

This joint choir will perform in tribute to World War II veterans, who will be honored at this event. Veterans from various units and organizations, including the Tuskegee Airmen, will be present.

This is the first time in 30 years that all four service academies will be singing together. The last time was in 1973 for President Nixon's inauguration.

The last time the Cadet Chorale sang at a Super Bowl was in 1972.
