Congressional Veteran Commendation Request

The Congressional Veteran Commendation is a nominations-based program designed to recognize both the military service and community service of Veterans living in the 31st Congressional District of Texas. These honorees are exceptional Americans who served our country as a former member of the United States Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force and Coast Guard). The nomination packet may be self-submitted by the Veteran or submitted by a nominator acting with permission on the Veteran's behalf. A Review Board will review the packets and make recommendations to the Congressman. The Congressional Veterans Commendation recipients will be honored later in the fall.
