Helping Veterans, Communities, & Those Serving In Harm's Way
The Montana Congressional Veteran Commendation, which was started by Congressman Gianforte in 2017, recognizes outstanding Montana veterans who have honorably served both our nation and our communities.
Our veterans and their families have sacrificed so much in the defense of our freedoms and our way of life. After their military careers, many of our veterans have continued their invaluable service by helping others in their communities.
The recipients of the Montana Congressional Veteran Commendation will receive a special commemorative flag flown over the U.S. Capitol in their honor on Veterans Day.
