Our service academies will develop these young men and women to become our next generation of military leaders. Today, I join all West Virginians in congratulating these hardworking and committed students for their nominations. This year, I had a record number of applicants competing for 40 nominations. This shows that our youth want to serve their country, and we should all be proud that the next generation is stepping forward to serve.”
