Do you know a potential veteran of the month?
Nevada seeks nominations for 2016
From the Nevada Department of Veterans Services
Nevada’s Veteran of the Month award recognizes
veterans statewide who contribute their time and
energy in support of veterans and the military, and/
or who take pride in caring and nurturing their local
communities.
A desire to serve is what leads men and women
to join the military.
But that desire continues for many who choose
positive paths that impact others after returning
home. It is that unselfish attitude that the state strives
to honor each month.
When the award was first established by Gov-
ernor Brian Sandoval in 2011, he said, “Men and
women across Nevada who have made a significant
contribution will have achieved excellence by going
above and beyond the call of duty.” He continued
by noting, “It will be an opportunity for all of us to
shine a bright light on the work veterans continue to
do for our nation.”
The program is managed by the Nevada Depart-
ment of Veterans Services that continuously seeks out
potential honorees. Anyone can nominate potential
candidates.
Submissions must be on an official form, and
