U.S. Navy veteran Graham Stafford was named Veteran of the Month (VOM) and the United Veterans Legislative Council (UVLC) was also honored as Veteran Supporter of the Month (VSM) in a special ceremony inside the Old Assembly Chamber in Carson City on July 26, 2019. Lt. Governor Kate Marshall attended on behalf of Governor Steve Sisolak.

Stafford served in the Navy from 1963-1967. He is Nevada Veterans Advocate (NVA), volunteering at a number of community-wide events. Stafford says he became an NVA because he plans to volunteer in the new Northern Nevada State Veterans Home. In the meantime, he has volunteered at many outreach events including Reno Earth Day, the VFW Job Fair, Reno Women’s Expo, the Reno Classic Car Show, Office of Military and Legal Aid Resource Fairs, at the Reno VA and in Winnemucca. Graham is willing to help veterans in any way he can.

NDVS (Nevada Department of Veterans Services) is currently dealing with a large number of requests.

VSO intake appointments are taking about 30–90 days to schedule. The wait time depends on which location you choose and appointment availability. If you have already submitted a request, you may need to wait longer than usual for someone to contact you. It does not necessarily mean your request has a problem, it’s primarily a notice about the current backlog.
