Congressman Alex X. Mooney (WV-02) announced last week that 24 students from West Virginia's Second Congressional District including two from Putnam County have been nominated to U.S. service academies. The honor of attending a service academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation. Our incredible military academy nominees have been selected based on their academic achievements, extra-curricular activities, leadership skills, physical aptitude, character and motivation, Mooney said in a news release.
