The Veteran Supporter of the Month (VSM) award recognizes both organizations and non-veteran Nevada community members who support military members stationed in Nevada, Nevada Veterans, and their families. Both of these programs shine a bright light on individuals and organizations that help military members, veterans, and their families with no expectation of recognition or award.
