Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) announced the nomination of seven West Virginia students to U.S. military service academies.

"I am happy to nominate these exceptional West Virginia students to our nation's prestigious service academies. These students demonstrated a strong desire to serve in the most powerful military in the world and protect the United States from foreign adversaries. I am grateful for their future service to our nation and wish them all the best," said Congresswoman Miller.
