Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) announced U.S. Service Academy nominations for 31 qualified high school seniors from 18 counties in West Virginia. Nominees were selected by a board chosen by Senator Capito that reviewed each application, interviewed candidates and made recommendations.\nNominating young men and women to our nations prestigious service academies is one of the most important responsibilities I have as a United States Senator, said Senator Capito. All of these young men and women are smart, talented and driven, and have worked extremely hard to get to this point. Attending these service academies provides more than just an education. It will allow these students to hone their leadership skills and prepare to serve our country, and I am honored to support them throughout this process.\nService Academy Nominees are listed below:\nUnited States Air Force Academy\nStephanie Anne Adkison-Sacra  Harrison County\nLiam Patrick Bailey  Putnam County\nJocelynn M.
