Now Accepting Nominations to Award Superstar Veterans or Veteran Supporters


Is there a certain “someone” who honorably served in the military and continues to keep on serving? They are the one(s) you can count on to support their community as well as their fellow veterans and military members.

The Veteran of the Month award recognizes Nevada veterans who contribute their time and energy to support veterans, their communities and/or the military.The award shines a bright light on the work veterans continue to do for our nation.

The Veteran Supporter of the Month Award recognizes both active organizations and non-veteran Nevada community members that provide exceptional support to military stationed in Nevada, Nevada veterans, and their families.

The program is managed by the Nevada Department of Veterans Services (NDVS). We continue to ask for your help in nominating possible candidates so we may recognize veterans who contribute time and effort for the betterment of our State and the veteran community. Submissions will be reviewed and chosen by the members of the Veterans Service Commission (VSC) at its quarterly meetings.

Submissions are accepted throughout the year. The nomination deadline is three weeks prior to each VSC quarterly meeting.

Note: Digital application submission is currently unavailable, but will be returning soon.
