Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan announced the launch of the 2024 Veteran of the Year Program for veterans living in the Fourth Congressional District.

The program seeks to recognize and uplift veterans for their service and dedication to our nation.

“Over 610,000 Virginians are veterans, and 130,000 Virginians are active-duty service members. These individuals play an integral part in protecting and nurturing our community, and they deserve our utmost respect and gratitude,” McClellan said. “I’m excited to launch my second annual Veteran of the Year Program to honor veterans living in Virginia’s Fourth for their service to our nation and their ongoing efforts to give back to our communities. I will keep fighting in Washington to ensure our veterans have the resources they rightfully deserve.”

Last year, McClellan named Chief Warrant Officer Four Charles H. Talley, Jr. the 2023 Veteran of the Year.

Eligible nominees must be honorably discharged veterans of any branch of the United States Armed Forces and must currently reside in Virginia’s District 4. Nominations for McClellan’s Veteran of the Year are due by Friday, October 25, 2024.

Nominations may be submitted online.
