We would like to congratulate William “Danny” McGinley for being named Veteran of the Month (VOM) and the Associated General Contractors (AGC), Nevada Chapter, being named Veteran Supporter of the Month (VSM) for July. Due to the risk of coronavirus exposure, special ceremonies to honor and recognize the VOM and VSM will be postponed until it is safe to resume them once again.

McGinley served in the U.S. Army and following his service, he has been incredibly involved in the veteran community.

McGinley has been a committed and supportive member of the veteran community in northern Nevada. He is an active member of the Sparks Elks Lodge and serves as the Veterans Committee Chairperson. In this capacity and prior to COVID-19, he would host poker games at the VA Hospital in Reno to raise funds. Once a month, he would also arrange for veterans living in the Community Living Center (CLC) to go to the Sparks Elks Lodge for a home–cooked meal. He also previously co-hosted ice cream socials at the Reno VA Hospital.

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.
