Veteran of the Month and Veteran Supporter of the Month

• James Glaser – February

Each Veteran of the Month will be honored in a special ceremony in the month listed above with the date, time, and location to be announced once details are finalized.

The honor of Veteran Supporter of Month will be presented to the following individuals and groups:

• AARP Nevada- April
• Su Phelps – April
• Reno Elks Lodge #597 – May

The Veteran of the Month recognizes Nevada veterans who contribute their time and energy to support veterans, their communities and/or the military.

The Veteran Supporter of the Month recognizes both active organizations and non-veteran Nevada community members that provide exceptional support to military stationed in Nevada, Nevada veterans, and their families. This program expands the Nevada Veteran of the Month Award (VOM) by shining a bright light on individuals who, while not serving in uniform, help veterans with no expectation of recognition or award.  It also serves to recognize the contributions of organizations who donate their time and energy to improve the life of our veterans.
